There has to be an advancement for a sacrifice to be scored. In this case, this is simply one judgment; if fielder could have put out the batter, but chose not to, and no one advanced, it is a fielders choice. If fielder could have put out the batter, but chose not to, and someone advanced, that is a sacrificea and safe on a fielders choice. If fielder could not have put out the batter, so chose another play as the only chance for an out, and failed, that is a base hit.
