For a hit to be scored as a "sacrifice fly", does:
1. A Runner have to score on the play?
2. A Runner have to advance on the play? (but not score)

A sacrifice fly is scored only when a runner advances and scores after the fly ball is caught, or should have been caught and the scorer judges the runner would have scored had the ball been caught.

So a runner going from second to third base on a caught fly ball is not a sacrifice fly.
