I have a dead ball right there because of malicious contact on the catcher. Malicious contact always is an immediate dead ball. Score the first run. Eject the catcher. Place the batter-runner where appropriate.
What's interesting is the catcher is the only player on the defense NOT ejected and suspended. The offensive team also had the entire team ejected, but only 9 players suspended.
