If the ball was held from earlier in the match to be thrown at the end (and missed, perhaps), then it wouldn't be the same. If it was bounced over with 50 seconds to go, it could've been harvested and scored (>50% chance, for a strong alliance). If it was held until less than 30 seconds remained, it likely missed and likely won't be harvested and scored.
