E2 on SB?

One more question from earlier in our season.  Runner on 1st attempting to steal 2nd.  Our catcher pops up and makes a great throw, which goes right over the base chest high, but no one covered and it sailed into CF.  Advancing runner takes 3rd as a result.  Catcher says SS was supposed to cover.  Everyone on the team agrees that on that particular play it was the SS responsibility.  (I never heard the SS take on it).

I feel bad giving the E2 on a well-thrown ball.  But I know that mental errors or failure to cover mistakes are not given errors.  Our official scorekeeper ended up recording it as an advance on a PB - not because he thought it was a PB, but because he didn't want to ding the catcher with an error he felt he didn't deserve.

What is the right way to score this?
