That is why they call it a "fielders choice".
The 1b made the right play, the 3b did not stretch for the ball as it is a "No tag" needed play. Was the infield grass "long" or "short"? How close to the batter when the 1b fielded the ball?

I believe the correct answer is the batter gets a plate appearance as a sacrifice and it’s also recorded as a fielder’s choice. It doesn’t make sense the batter should be penalized for executing a perfect bunt due to the first baseman’s lack of judgement.
