Under the OBR the play described in the OP could be scored as an error. It would depend on the scorer's judgment. This happens frequently in professional baseball.

Beyond the Basics of Scoring Fastpitch Foftball is in PDF format and published by ATEC. This is available free and is very good. You can buy it in printed format from nfca.org (National Fastpitch Coaches Association).

Baseball Scorekeeping: A Practical Guide to the Rules is an excellent guide to scorekeeping and is based on the OBR.

Remember, whatever general guide you use for scoring rules there may be differences from ruleset to ruleset.
