Reply to "Hit by batted ball while on the base????"

Official rules......
7.08(f) He is touched by a fair ball in fair territory before the ball has touched or passed an infielder. The ball is dead and no runner may score, nor runners advance, except runners forced to advance. EXCEPTION: If a runner is touching his base when touched by an Infield Fly, he is not out, although the batter is out;

If the runner is standing in foul territory, off the base, when the ball touches him, it is a foul ball and the ball is dead. Less than 2 strikes add a strike to the batter.

The runner on third is hit with a ball directly off the bat in fair territory he is out, while he is standing on a base.
If the ball had passed through F5 then touching the runner ball is live, no out to runner. If an infield fly is called and ball hits the runner on third (standing on the base) then only the batter is out.
If infield fly is called and the runner steps off the base and the ball hits him then both are out.
