My apologies.
In my efforts to refute the judgement of malicious contact, I did not think through the rest of the scenario.
I know the onus is on the runner to attempt to avoid contact. Sliding is the most obvious way to do that.
Runner is certainly out for failing to avoid contact, no ejection.

E-club???
Remember the line from "Men of Honor", "My name is Master Chief Billy Sunday and I am God"?
I think below that but absolutely above Kreskin!!
