The runner would have been out if the throw was made. Is this charged as a base hit against the pitcher or as an error against the 2nd baseman for not getting to the base?

4.21.3 An error shall be charged against any fielder when she catches a thrown ball or fields a ground ball in time to put out any runner on a force play and fails to tag the base or the runner, including a batter-runner on a play at first base.

That wouldn't result in E2 on a good team - CF would keep the runner from advancing to 3B.

Not if the runner does not advance, but the scorer gives second on the error(which is what happened)
