That was where I was confused. First, I thought it was an immediate dead ball situation (otherwise why whould PU have signaled immediately with his closed fist). Second, I thought the R3 swiped the plate with his hand on the first pass anyway. I too thought the runner could have avoided contact and still got to the base - borderline malicious contact, but I could see why the PU felt R3 had the right to make contact.
No matter what, I thought the results of the play turned out properly anyway.
