Unfortunately, during the incident, our driver contacted another ball while driving to get the first from out from under us. That is what the penalties ended up being called for - because we were possessing one ball and interacting with another.
In the end, it was a judgement call by the ref. Not a big deal, just a very unlucky break for us.
