But Rule 8, Section 8, Clause F (ASA 2004 p. 118) states that the runner is not out when hit by a fair batted ball after it touches, or is touched by, any fielder, including the pitcher, and the runner could not avoid contact with the ball.
Based on that, R1 can't be out for being hit by the deflected ball.
