If a runner is hit by a batted ball she is out unless the ball goes by or through an infielder and no other infielder has a play on it. The runner is actually ruled out for interference. So why is the runner out if there is no infielder in position to make a play? Case: runner breaks for 2nd on a steal, 2nd baseman breaks to cover the base, a line drive hits the runner when she is between the bases with no infielder in the area, who did she interfere with?
