MLB Rule 5.08 is pretty clear:

If a thrown ball accidentally touches a base coach, or a pitched or thrown ball touches an umpire, the ball is alive and in play. However, if the coach interferes with a thrown ball, the runner is out.

The ball is alive, nothing can kill a live ball except when a pitcher hits a batter or the ball goes out of the playing field.
