Neither did the bench, and the Rays announcers never made mention of it. I rewound and watched the sequence 3 times to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.
How common could this possibly be???

Did the scoreboard record the fourth ball or did this happen because a ball just wasn't recorded so everyone thought it was still 3-2?
