USSSA - Runner hit by batted ball

R1 on 2B. R2 on 1B. B1 hits the ball up the middle, past the pitcher who never touches it, and the ball hits R1 while R1 is standing on 2B. SS and second baseman are playing deep to setup up a double play, well behind 2B.
R1 didn't interfere with ball.

What's the correct call?

I'm reading the rule book and there seems to be a conflict,

Rule 8 Sec. 10. BASE RUNNERS MUST RETURN TO THEIR BASES:

E. When an Umpire or Base Runner is struck by a Fair batted ball, before it
touches a Fielder, or passes any Fielder other than the Pitcher.
EFFECT Sec 10. A-F.
1. The ball is immediately dead.
2. Base Runners may be forced to advance, if the Batter is credited with a hit as per “E” above thus awarded First Base, thereby forcing other Runners to advance.
3. Base Runners need not touch intervening bases, when required to return.
4. Base Runners must be allowed sufficient time to return, when required.

But Rule 9 Sec. 2. THE BALL IS LIVE AND IN PLAY:
K. When a fair-batted ball strikes an Umpire or Base Runner after touching a
Fielder, or after passing any Fielder including the Pitcher/Infielder.

No one touched it and it passed by the pitcher, 8-10-E says dead ball, 9-2-K says live ball.
