In a game Friday night in Austin, leadoff batter singles, the next batter lays down a bunt to the firstbaseman who picks the ball up and throws high to SS covering 2B. Ball cleanly beats runner to second but runner takes out SS lowering his shoulder and hitting SS at the waist dislodging the ball as SS hits ground. What is the call on this? This play riled up our boys and we won the game in the bottom of the 7th.

Force play slide rule violation and malicious contact.
The runner is out and ejected and the batter is out. If there were other runners, they would return.
