Runner on base hit with batted ball
Bases loaded, batter hits fair gourndball down 3rd base line that hits runner standing on 3rd base.
1) Is runner out because runner loses protection of the base since runner is forced to move
2) Is runner safe because no matter what as long as runner is on the base the runner cannot be called out when hit by a batted ball
3) Is the ball dead upon hitting runner and, if so, what happens next?
