Is it a Foul to Pocket Other Balls In Addition to Called Ball?

Playing pool with a friend recreationally. We call any shot that isn't obvious.

Is it considered "slop" if he calls the 5 in the side pocket and makes it, but also makes the seven in the corner Accidentally?

I think its slop and would be a foul for him, and I would return to the table. He says that it is irrelevant what happens after the intentional ball is made.

This question relates to the following billiard rules:

    He's right. It isn't a foul as long as he made his called ball.

    I agree with @quickshot.

    • he made the called ball in the called pocket
    • the other ball in the other pocket is immaterial
    • no mention of other foul

    3 out of 3 can't be wrong. I agree with Quickshot and Mitch. The 7 was just extra credit.

    Look at bright side. It could have been one of yours.
