Runner interfering with a foul ball

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.

The version of the OBR that Little League Rules are based on is quite old. Because of that, many modern updates and clarifications aren't in the Little League book. That is one of them. You'll find many examples the more you look.
