It doesn't. There was no penalty.

So, if a catcher sets up in the pathway without the ball, and the runner collides with the catcher just as the ball enters his mitt, what prevails? Do they call the runner Out under 7.13(1), or Safe under 7.13(2)??

Safe if the catcher blocked the runner's path while neither in possession of, nor in the act of fielding, the ball.
