hit or error?

A batter hits a hard grounder into centerfield.  As the batter nears first base, the ball rolls under the centerfielder’s glove and rolls to to the wall, enabling the runner to reach third.  

It should have been a routine play for the centerfielder but the batter would have reached first safely even if the fielder had not missed the ball.

Is this a hit or an error?  If it is a hit, is is scored as a single or a triple?

thanks for your comments.
