Regardless, the rules are the ball has to make it through the counter in hybrid or it doesn't count. If it was only 3-4 balls and they could clear the jam without dumping balls on the field, you'd be out those 9-12 bonus points. It's an understandable rule from the GDC, but that situation in particular points out its potential difficulties.
Frankly, I'm surprised they even replayed the match. There's nothing in the rules covering what happens if the goals jam and if a team should be credited for all the balls past the rim or what. I could easily see the ruling coming down on the side of "If you lose some balls, oh well. Try to shoot slower next time."
Too many people have worked too long and too hard to have the selfish actions of one person derail our teams reputation because they want to vent online. - Koko Ed [more]
