Runner hit by fair ball

Question
My player was running from 1st to 2nd and was hit by a hit ball. She was running and didn't see the hit so couldn't attempt to get out of the way. Is she out? What if she had tried to avoid the ball?

Answer
Hi Becky,

Intent or trying to avoid the ball has nothing to do with being called out.  The runner is out...

ASA 8-7-K. When a runner is struck with a fair untouched batted ball while not in contact
with a base and before it passes another infielder excluding the pitcher, or if it passes an infielder and another fielder has an opportunity to make an out.
EFFECT: The ball is dead and the runner is out. All other runners must return to the last base legally touched at the time of the interference.
