It comes down to whether the runner got hit by a batted ball over fair territory which potentially prevented the defense from making a play. If the umpire decides that ANY defensive player could have made a play on the ball if it hadn't touched the runner then the play is dead, the hit baserunner is out, the batter is awarded first and all other runners return to their TOP base.

For arguement sake, does the runner have to give up his position on the bag to allow the fielder to field the ball? Can the runner be called for interference, if he does not?
