Rod bolt fell out!!

Well tonight I was tearing down a 350 I got and one of the rod bolts fell out when I was pushing a piece of fuel line on it. After I got the piston/rod out I looks like it was pushed in sideways then pushed in the correct way. There was a big gouge right above the bolt register. The bolt slid right back down in the hole.
I guess it's a good thing I've got extras.
