Bob -
Keep reading. I do not have it in front of me but there is something like "unless another defensive player would have had a play on the ball had it not been deflected."
Rich -
The LL rule is different. It explicitly outlines the situation you describe and says that the runner is out if the deflected ball could have been played had it not been deflected. That's why I hate it.
