If a guy lowers his shoulder, as this runner did, he is attempting to dislodge the ball not protect himself or reach the base. That qualifies as malicious intent in my books.
Malicious contact is "intent to injure." That's a standard above (or "more egregious") than just "attempt to dislodge the ball."
