Anytime a fair, untouched batted ball hit a runner in contact with the base, the runner is NOT out unless s/he acted in a manner to interfere with the ball/play.
The status of the ball depends on the location of the nearest fielder. If that fielder was playing in front of the runner, the ball is live. If that fielder was playing behind the runner, it is a dead ball, the BR is awarded 1B and any runner forced to advance due the award is advanced. All other runners return.
