Which players are safe?

Bases are loaded with one out, Billy Ray on second and Miley is kicking. Miley kicks a line drive that hits Billy Ray and goes straight into the air. The second baseman grabs the ball before it hits the ground, but cannot make a throw to get anybody out, so every player advances to the next base.

Billy Ray and Miley out.

To the best of our knowledge this has never happened in the okc and isnt covered directly by the rules. If you recall from the previous question, we treat a ball as though it is live at all times. We also allow multiple people to touch the ball before it is caught as long as it doesnt touch the ground. Additionally, when a player is in the kickers box and fouls a ball off and it hits them in the face, the ball is still live to be caught. So, Billy Ray is out because he was tagged out and Miley is out because her ball was caught.
