I assume your catcher committed obstruction.
A catcher obstructs the batter when he steps on or across home or pushes the batter to reach the pitch or by touching the bat. If catcher obstuction is called, it is a delayed dead ball, the batter gets first and any runner stealing shall be awarded the base. Other runners will advance only if forced. The coach, of the team at bat, shall indicate whether or not he elects to decline the obstruction and accept the results of the play.
