According to MLB rule 7.08(f) "A runner is out when ... 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."

Since the ball is dead the instant it touches the runner, where it goes afterwards is irrelevant.
