I'm still not convinced that you can have an out and not have a play. I've always taken "the act of fielding" to refer to fielding a ground ball, not catching a fly ball.
I still maintain that to have an out there must have been a play.
At either rate, the UIC's ruling of award 2nd is still right out.
