I cant speak for whoever wrote the situation but, it seems that either they goofed up or had the NCAA rules in mind when writing.
This was implied in the 2001 BRD pg130 *287. The fact remains, "The ball is dead and any runner is out if he is hit by a batted ball before it has passed an infielder other than the pitcher" FED and OBR.
In Fed and OBR, the runner is not protected while on base (except for an infield fly) however, in NCAA they are unless they intentially interfere
