If a ball hits the batter-runner, it cannot be an ignored play. In all cases it is a dead ball and then basically one of three things:
1. If the batter is still in the batter's box, it is a foul ball
else
2. if the ball is in foul territory, it is a foul ball
3. if the ball is in fair territory, it is an out
As you described the play, I believe I would have ruled an out. The ball was fair and the defense has to be given the chance to make a play.
