I'm not quite sure this qualifies as a "play at the plate" (depending on how late the throw was, and whether there was a tag attempt). If not, then the umpire should act just as he would had the runner touched the plate. That is, signal nothing (no play, no signal), and get ready for the next play / pitch.
