341 used their piston/"stinger" in every balancing attempt I watched from the blue alliance side of the field. I assume they used it in the ones I watched from the red alliance side of the field, as well.

That was 63 of penalty points for the other alliance. It wasn't forcing an opponent into 63 points of penalties. Not a [G44] scenario.

341 had a position that effectively "pinned" them into the corner (without actually pinning them).

They interfered with the act of balancing. This defines what happened in that match.
In my mind, the "act of balancing" only occurs once robots are on the bridge and attempting to balance. Perhaps there was a Q&A that further clarified this.
