It's a fielder's choice play (charged at bat) , and you will be credited with an RBI..

If the ground out isn't the third out of the inning, then yes, you would get credit for the sacrifice and the RBI.
On the contrary, though, if you do get the third out, the runner must score home BEFORE you're thrown out, otherwise the run doesn't count and the inning is over.
Also, it depends on how many runners are on base. If the player advancing to home would be a force out, then the play is designated as Fielder's Choice and no credit for the At bat is even given, but the batter would still get an RBI.

You would get the RBI even though you grounded out.
The only time you would not get an RBI is if you would ground into a double play with no outs. For some reason the baseball rulebook is mean towards double play runs scored.
Also note, that no where in the rule books does it say that the tie goes to the runner. Remember that if you're ever playing and someone tries to argue that. You can call their BS.

wow....a lot of replies with several variations of answers......and several of them are at least partially incorrect.
if less than 2 outs and you ground out and the runner scores, you do indeed get an rbi, however you do not get credit for a sacrifice unless you bunt(generally in this case a safety or sucide squeeze)and the play would only be scored as a fielders choice if an out was recorded at another base(say a runner was also on first and the force play was made at second and the batter safe at first).
those that said no rbi credited if a double play was turned are correct.

Provided that your ground out was not the third out of the inning, then yes. It counts as a groundout and RBI, not a fielders choice.
If, for example, there was a runner at 1st and 3rd, and the force out was at 2nd, then it would be a fielders choice. Either way, its an RBI

If you drive in a run and get out you get a RBI. However if their is a double play that knocks in a run the run then doesn't count as an RBI.

This depends on how many outs. If you make the 1st or 2nd out of the inning, you will receive the rbi. If you make the 3rd out, then no. You will not get the rbi.

its not a sacrifice unless its a bunt of fly out. if u ground out and a run scores, its considered a fielders choice but u still get the RBI.

It is not a scarifice, but you do get an RBI. A sacrifice is an uncharged at-bat where your sole purpose is to advance exisiting runners. A groundout does not qualify - you were trying to get a hit.
