Malicious contact

Well, blows up the catcher can be taken a lot of ways. Please try to describe plays in rule based description.

Since your thread title is malicious contact, I assume your judgement was that it was malicious. If so, that supersedes the obstruction (catcher did not have the ball (nfhs)). Dead ball, runner out and ejected.

What rule set? Different rule sets are going to have different final rulings? Did runner have time to avoid contact or did catcher move in front of runner to late for the runner to avoid?
