How should this one be scored?

Bases loaded, one out.
Batter hits line shot down 3rd base line . . . ball hits the left hand of the runner who had led off the bag . . . umpire ruled the ball and the runners hand were on(above) the foul line - therefore, fair ball. Runner was called out, and "dead Ball" was called. Batter is "safe" at 1st, all other runners advanced to their next base. End result, bases are still loaded, 2 outs now.
My question, . . . how is this play scored? Base hit, base running error, force out, something else?
