Runner Almost Ejected After Collision with Catcher

Mike holds onto the ball for the out after a collision at the plate. The runner almost gets ejected from the game due to malicious contact. Should the runner have gotten tossed?

Man. Soon they’ll require runners to be automatically out on all plays at the plate.

lol that's kinda true. @MannyRyder ...it's probably smart to avoid contact for High School and Men's Leagues but I'd be OK with a little more contact in MLB.
