Since a highspeed shutter cam did not record it, I'd say there is a 95% it did not hit the ground.
Obviously the ump could not see the ball, it sounded like a trapped ball to him - he made the right call. {except that pump-the-fist thingy}

There was something strange about the way that ball was caught. As I watched the scene unfold on television I remember thinking to myself: "Why the heck did he roll that ball back to the mound? I think it may have hit the ground!"
Sure enough . . . LOL.
