(Rule 8, section 7 J & K or rule 8, section 8 D-F.
Again I ask who did the batter / Runner interfere with if there was not a player / players there to field the ball ?

SethPDX more than adequately answered the issue. I'm not trying to sound like a smartass, but I'll ask if you went back and read those rules? Nowhere does it say that a runner can be safe if they're hit by a fair batted ball that hasn't yet passed an infielder (excluding the pitcher, of course).

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
