Bases loaded none out. Batter hits fly ball to center that the CF drops. runner on first forced at 2nd after having to hold up. Runner on third scores. So, would this be a FC for the batter with an RBI or a Sac Fly error?

FC, RBI.
"The official scorer shall not charge an error against: . . . any fielder when, after fumbling a ground ball or dropping a batted ball that is in flight or a thrown ball, the fielder recovers the ball in time to force out a runner at any base."
Good one! thanks guys!
I have FC, RBI
JMoff -- always enjoy your posts. But why not a sac fly -- as per 10.08 (d) (2)
10.08
(d) Score a sacrifice fly when, before two are out, the batter hits a ball in flight handled
by an outfielder or an infielder running in the outfield in fair or foul territory that
(1) is caught, and a runner scores after the catch, or
(2) is dropped, and a runner scores, if in the scorer’s judgment the runner could
have scored after the catch had the fly been caught.
