Was there malicious contact, or did the batter-runner attempt (and fail) to avoid contacting the fielder? This is the big question. If it was not malicious contact, but a trainwreck, then the runner scores, and next batter comes to bat with one out. If it was, the runner is held at third (the last legally acquired base prior to the malicious contact), the batter-runner is out and ejected, and the next batter comes to bat with one out.
