While I'm not certain the call was pinning, by definition we were pinned between 2 blue alliance robots that never broke contact per the above game manual quote.

I probably would not have called it there, and it did not effect the outcome of the match anyway, as a matter of fact the penalties did not swing any of the finals matches the just boosted the margin of victory.
