Runner on 1st and shallow fly ball hit between ss and cf. Runner has to hold part way and when ball falls is out at 2nd. Is the batter awarded a hit? Thanks

If a runner is put out on a force play, FIELDER'S CHOICE.

Fair question, if you are a coach. Why is this question posted on an officiating (umpire) forum?
