Rules, changed by the ref, or correct interpretation?

OK,

I have a question of rules interpretation. In finals match 1 at Peachtree, The alliances finished the match tied at 7 to 7. As the buzzer sounded, a robot jammed into its goal pushing balls, one of which passed through the scoring box and was scored (creating the tie). the 10 second timer counted to zero with no further changes. The refs gathered around the robot, and found several balls jammed in the goal with the robot, none of which passed through the scoring box.

After a brief discussion, they added the balls that were jammed in with the robot to the alliance score, giving that alliance the win.

My question: based on this definition:

SCORED: A BALL is SCORED when it is passes through the GOAL COUNTER.

And this rule:

<G05> Scoring Determination - Scores will be assessed after all objects in motion, when the ARENA timer displays zero seconds, come to rest, or 10 seconds after the timer displays zero seconds, whichever comes first.

Was this a good call?
