RBI or no RBI

So, this is 8u baseball, coach pitch. Runners on 1st and 3rd, no outs. Batter pops out to the catcher, fielders are not really paying attention and covering second so our runner takes second. Catcher makes a bad throw to second, it gets away and our runner on third scores. I was asked if the batter gets an RBI for that, I said no because the run scored due to error...everyone agreed with that. But then posed the question, what if the same situation happened, the throw to second was good and the runner still goes from third and beats the throw back home. So, no errors on the play, does the batter get credit for a RBI? thanks!
