Unless the umpire feels that the runner standing on base intentionally interfered with the batted ball, the runner who is in contact with the base when hit by a fair batted ball is not out. Why? Because that is the rule. However, not having my rule book with just now, I cannot cite rule number. Maybe someone else will come along who can.
