The question I would have on this is where on the plate was the left foot. If it was on the back corner of the plate and the runner had nowhere to touch on the plate, I don't think I have anything on the runner because I'm not penalizing a runner for running into a defensive player who is blocking the plate (unless I deem the runners action to be malicious).
Now if F2 has her foot on the front edge of the plate and the runner has the entire plate to touch but still manages to run into F2 with enough force to knock her down, it is much more possible that I have malicious contact.
If the run scores or not depends on if the runner had touched the plate when the contact occurred. If she had, then the run counts and I likely have an ejection. If the runner hadn't touched yet, no run scores, and the malicious contact gets the player an early exit.
