The two sacrifices have been confused. Sacrifice Fly (SF):A fly ball is hit, and the runner scores. Note that someone must score as a result of the fly ball, not necessarily from third. Also, the batter need not be out, as the fielder could drop the ball. Sacrifice Bunt (S):A bunt advancing a runner. No one need score; it is just necessary that someone advance a base as a result of the bunt. Again, the batter might be safe. For instance, the runner beats the throw to second. In this instance, it is a S on a bunt, or a FC on a swing.
