P.S. Mo's final pitch was called a strike, though Neil Best (and the batter) thought it was a ball. A commenter, James K. cleared the matter up by citing Pitch f/x:

"Neil,

Per PITCH f/x (which shows us whether pitches are strikes or balls) the umpire didn't call any pitches out of the strike zone strikes during Mariano's inning.
He did, however, call 2 should-be strikes as balls. Fascinating stuff - and
we no longer have to speculate on umpire's calls. We can see for ourselves if they got it right.
And the ump did, on the last pitch at least."
