" Number of times batted, except that no time at bat shall be charged when a player: ( 1 ) hits a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly ; ( 2 ) is awarded first base on four called balls ; ( 3 ) is hit by a pitched ball ; or ( 4 ) is awarded first base because of interference or obstruction ..."

In the first two cases above, " on an error " includes situations where the batter makes a clean hit ( or walks, is hit by pitch, reaches base on a fielder's choice in which no out is made, or reaches base on a wild pitch on a called or swinging third strike ), but should have been out earlier in his at bat on a foul fly ball which was dropped by a fielder for an error.

Therefore, when a runner on first or second base tags on a fly ball and advances no further than third base, no sacrifice is given and the batter is charged with an at-bat.

Note that, although rarely occurring, if a runner tags and advances from second base ( or, theoretically, from first base ) all the way to home and scores ( without an intervening error ) the batter is credited with a sacrifice fly.
