Joe,

In ASA, the ball stays live and the runner is simply declared out.

In ISF, I do not see the status of the ball addressed in Rule 8.9 other than when it occurs on a batter ball and the outcome of the play has been determined. In that circumstance, it is a delayed dead ball, so I would assume that since it is not specifically addressed otherwise, it is a form of interference which would kill the play.
