Looks like a delayed steal where the runner on third runs with the throw to second. I guess since they let the throw through to second and got the out there, it's a fielder's choice rather than SB for the lead runner? Which seems strange because if the cutoff man had an equal chance at the lead runner, he surely would've thrown to home.
and he wasn't credited with a stolen base in the boxscore? I am wondering if it is just a quirk with how the play by play is listed. Can you post a link to the game?
If one runner is caught stealing, other runners are not credited with a stolen base.
From the MLB rule book 9.07 Stolen Bases and Caught Stealing: (d) When a double- or triple-steal is attempted and one runner is thrown out before reaching and holding the base such runner is attempting to steal, no other runner shall be credited with a stolen base.

That makes sense. You'll usually see that with runners on 1st & 2nd and the lead runner is thrown out at 3rd. I didn't realize that the same rule applies to this situation.
