ASA 2011 Rule Book Question

Rule 8, sec.1 THE BATTER BECOMES A BATTER-RUNNER
E. When a fair batted ball strikes the person, attached equipment, or clothing of an umpire or runner:
6. Touches a runner in contact with a base.
EFFECT: The runner is not out. The ball is live or dead depending on the
position of the fielder closest to the base.

Can someone clarify what makes it a live or dead ball? I'm confused.
