Equate this situation to one that might happen in a "normal" game.
Umpire inadvertently gets in the way of a runnner approaching second or third base and is thsn forced out by less than a step. (Say runners on 1st and 2nd, liner to left, Umpire in C moving inside bumps the runner around shortstop, slowing them just enough to get out.) What do you rule? Should be the same here.
