Raycast2d hit bool not detecting

Hello, I have a ball when it is clicked on by the raycast2D it gets destroyed. I also have a gameobject with an animation on it when the ball is not clicked on it instantiate when clicked but I don’t want the gameobject to instantiate when the ball is clicked on but a bool I applied to the script isn’t working for some reason. I have 2 different scripts.

Ball Script

 public bool clicked;

 void Update()
 {
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition), Vector2.zero);
         if (hit.collider != null && hit.transform.gameObject)
         {
             clicked = true;
             Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
         }
     }
 }

GameManager Script

 Ball ballscript;
 public GameObject anim;

 void Update()
 {
     ballscript = FindObjectOfType<Ball>();
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         Vector2 clickpos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
         if ( !ballscript.clicked)
         {
             Instantiate (anim, clickpos, Quaternion.identity);
         }
     }
 }
