Real life example: Two years ago I was U1 in a HS playoff game. In back-to-back half-innings, we had slow-rolling "cue shots" toward first that were originally well in foul ground. Both ended up hitting the first base bag.
One kicked back into foul ground, with B/R safe at first, the other caromed directly to F3 who was able to retire B/R. Both results benefited the same team, which went on to win a one-run game.
And once again, runners know they're not supposed to intefere with fielders going after a ball.

I'd bet that at the younger levels at least the runners
know they have a right to the baseline.
