On-deck Batter Hit by Thrown Ball

NFHS Rules Only Please
With a runner at first base, the batter hits safely to center field. F8 overthrows F4. The overthrown ball rolls into foul territory near the on-deck circle and hits the on-deck batter. There is no obvious play on either runner.

Is this still a live ball or an immediate dead ball and what rule applies?

7-5-4 states "The on-deck batter shall not commit interference with the defensive team," but I'm not convinced this situation meets the definition of interference.
