From the 2007 FED casebook:

While advancing to second, R1 is hit by a batted ball that prevents an obvious double play on him and the batter-runner.

Ruling: Both the runner and the batter-runner are declared out.

Anyone ever call 2 on this? The rule says the runner is out and the batter gets a single, and there is no exception listed for an "obvious" double play.
