This is scored as a sac. bunt. A fielders choice in this situation happens when a batter bunts the ball and a preceding runner is put out at any base by the defense. Its ruled a base hit if it is bunted so well that there is no play at first and the attempt to put any preceding runner out is unsuccessful with ordinary effort play.
