That is how you would think it should be, but...
NFHS 8-4-2k says the RUNNER is out when hit by a fair batted ball...
There are no references in sec. 8 or 7 (Batting) indicating the batter is ever out when a runner is hit by the ball.
It seems to me that in all cases, the BATTER should be out, and all runners return. Nice and simple. It just feels wierd calling the runner out, awarding the batter 1st, and advancing the runners who are forced by the batter's award of 1st.
