Without seeing the play, it is hard to call it (HTBT, ya know!)

Nothing wrong with that - a slide is almost always legal contact.

Was the runner scrambling to reach home after the contact but was held down by the catcher? If yes, then this was probably obstruction.

If no, the you've got your out.
