				String theory revisited?
			 
 
			
			Yes the ball is live and in play after being deflected into the runner, MLB 5.09f. If another fielder has a legitimate play, runner is out for interference, MLB 7.09k.
 Again, no interference for deflecting the ball, agreed?  The umpire shall not declare the runner out for being touched by a deflected batted ball.  However,  interference for preventing another fielder from making a play on BR.
