Once the ball is touched by a defensive player, the runner is not penalized for being hit by the batted ball, ball is in play. Exception would be if the runner intentionally contacted ball to keep the defense from making a play. Also if the runner is hit after it passes an infielder other than the pitcher and no other infielder can make a play, then you play on. Rule is same in all levels of play, both softball and baseball as far as I know.
