They probably won't name the fired official if they're going after him for theft or something criminal.
I can see a clubhouse guy being asked to return a ball to the field, Official says "Hey I grabbed the wrong ball, can you run this back out for me? " And if the handling is as sloppy as it seems to have been, he probably thought something like "Dumba** grabbed the K ball, I better get it back out there"
With such sloppy work and no proceedures followed, we'll probably never know what really happened.
