See I knew it was in there, but when challenged I couldn't recall the rule. So I just looked it up in both OBR and the current LL rule book and discovered that the LL rule book says specifically that the batter is out when deflecting a foul ball, making no mention of a runner. Even though LL modifies many OBR rules, it seems odd to me that they'd choose this one.

Also for anyone stumbling across this thread later, it should be noted that unlike 7.08(f) (which states that a runner is out if he is touched by a batted fair ball) 7.09(c) requires intent. If R3 is pegged by a line drive in foul territory, he's not out. if he sticks his hand up and knocks that drive down, he is.
