First time here, I think I can help with this one.
Rule 8, Section 1, Part E
If the runner is hit with a fair batter ball while touching a base, the runner is not out. Effect: If the runner is hit before the ball passes a fielder without being touched, the ball is dead. When a fair ball touches a runner who is in contact with a base, the ball remains live or is ruled dead depending on the position of the fielder closest to the base. The batter is awarded first base and as previously mentioned, other runners advance if forced.
Hope that helps.
