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.
