Well, the description given has two opportunities for the mythical out to be called, and you will find considerable coaches and even some umpires who will agree with one or both:
1) BR abandoned her attempt to advance by heading for the dugout, and
2) It was not a "dropped" 3K since the catcher caught the ball on the bounce.
I don't know what could be missing from the story that would make the UIC's ruling correct.
