Do you have a local "must slide" rule?
In standard ASA, the runner might have been declared out for crash interference (dead ball, runner out, other runners return to their bases as the time of the interference). He might also have been declared out for flagrant misconduct due to taking out the catcher (also dead ball, runners return, etc.).
He would not have been declared out merely for not sliding, however.
If you have a local rule, does it state whether the ball is live or dead?
