It makes sense that the runner has to stay on the base if the ball and fielder are in the immediate vicinity otherwise he's an easy out.

...roger the infield fly rule (an out has already been delcared, so the runner is protected unless s/he tries to advance) but should the defense be double penalized (run scored and b-r on first) for interference by the offense? Granted, there's no way that Bako could have avoided being hit (his back was to the batted ball) but I would have called Bako out (interference) and put Maddux on first...
