This would be obstruction on the catcher, and an ejection of the runner for malicious contact. He can go around, or slide or other options, but cannot Slam the catcher.
So I have obstuction award of home, and an ejection of the runner, who cannot score since he was ejected? What is the proper call.
I think it is score the run and eject the runner.
