ASA 8.8-D: To be "not out", requires that the ball have passed an infielder, no distinction whether on base or not when the runner is hit by a fair batted ball. (Ball is still live by default.)
ASA 8.1-E: Specifically states that the runner is not out when touching a base and hit by a fair batted ball unless intent to interfere can be ruled. Also specifically states that the ball is live once it's passed an infielder (except F1), see EFFECT 2.
Either way the ball is live, and R1 is not out. The ASA rule book is the only one I've got. Other sanctioning bodies might disagree.
