In the game of baseball if there is a runner on third base with less than two outs and the batter purposely hits the ball to the right side to score the run is that considered a sacrifice?

No.

By definition it is not a sacrifice unless the batter is out.

The correct answer is yes.

The runner can reach base during a sacrifice on a throwing error or a fielders choice.
