anybody know how to cancel an extra ball? say if during play I earn an extra ball but then later on tilt, I want to not give the extra ball, but I can't seem to find a method to cancel it.

There is a player variable "extra_balls" that gets incremented and will start extra balls for the player so long as it's greater than zero. MPF default behavior is to deny extra balls on a slam tilt but not a regular tilt, so you'd use a variable player on the tilt event to set the player's extra balls to zero. Something like this:

variable_player:
  tilt:
    extra_balls:
      action: set
      int: 0
