MALICIOUS CONTACT

A runner may not make malicious contact with a fielder, whether the fielder is in or out of the base path, or whether he has or doesn’t have the ball. Penalty: Interference: The ball is dead, the runner is out, and other runners return to the bases occupied at the time of the interference. If the interference prevented a double play, the umpire will award the second out.

Note: The OBR has no such rule. The NCAA has a similar statue called the Collision Rule.
