Runner on 2B, batter pops ball up just behind second. Defense scrambles but fails to catch ball (for this scenario, assume no error on the catch). Runner tries to advance to third (ball lands about 5 feet from the second base bag), but is thrown out. Is this a single or a fielder's choice?

Does it matter is the runner goes back to second, and then runs when she sees the ball hit the ground? There was no possible play on the batter runner at first.
