R3 slides into home plate, touching the base, then unitentionally kicks the ball. Runners do not advanced as a result of the kicked ball.

If this happened at any other base the runner would be out because he was touched by a batted ball over fair territory but what about once the runner has already scored?

What's the call??

Didn't the ball go "immediately through or by" the catcher?
