I emailed our state rules interpreter and this is the answer I got. Sounds about right since the force was removed.
Would like your input on this particular play. None out and bases loaded. Batter hits a ground ball to F4, but is obstructed with by the catcher. On the play, runner from first maliciously contacts F4. What do we as umpires do?
1. Do we eject the runner from 1B, send runners back to 2B & 3B, and leave batter on 1B?
2. Eject runner from 1B, enforce FPSR, and return runners to 2B & 3B?
3. Move runners up one base, eject runner from 1B, and leave batter on 1B?
You would do no. 1. The batter-runner is awarded 1st and R3 the runner on 1st is out and ejected. Because he is out the other runners are not forced to move up due to the BR being awarded 1st.
