Scorebook Question - Fielder's Choice?
 
Not really a rules question, but thought I'd pose it anyway.

What is the correct scorebook designation when a runner is forced out on what would otherwise be a base hit to the outfield? For example: Runner on first, batter hits a line drive one-hopper directly to the center fielder. The center fielder gloves it cleanly and fires the ball to second to force the runner coming from first. Would that be a considered a fielder's choice?

Force out on the runner, batter reaches first base on a fielder's choice.
