Just my 2 cents.
More generally:
Every ball you remove from play is one less they have to score against you.

If you're ahead on points, hoarding balls is a good strategy. Scoring them isn't necessarily as important as keeping your opponents from scoring them. Herding/vacuuming well is good defense, as long as you're not missing your shots on your opponent.
