Rule 10.12 a(1) comment:.....
"It is not necessary for that the fielder touch the ball to be charged with an error. If a ground ball goes through afielder's legs or a fly ball lands untouched and, in the scorer's judgement, the fielder could have handled the ball with ordinary effort, the official scorer shall charge such fielder with an error."

If the play can be made with ordinary effort like the other posters state, then there is is an error and not a hit.

Failure to impose this rule is one reason why kids hit .500 or better in many cases. Fortunate for them that they have a very liberal scorer, unfortunate for the kids they play against.
