bases empty, no outs, ground ball to SS who overthrows 1st. Batter touches first on way through, turns towards second, scampers back to first while ball is being retrieved by catcher who throws it to pitcher who was now standing next to 1st base. The batter in scampering back to first touches the base again, but slips off of the base and is immediately tagged by the pitcher and is correctly called out. Does the SS still receive and error in the scorebook? My thought is yes, because the batter did achieve 1st base, but in attempting to advance to second is put out. The announcers for this game indicated that the out "erased" the error because the runner was out. I have never heard of any error being "erased" except for when the coaches kid plays short.
