I think it is some type of "tie" rod. It is threaded on both ends.

Yikes! Must have been a surprise when you began pulling it out and it just kept coming, and coming, and coming...

Were you able to plug the hole?

It was a shock how it kept on coming out. At one point I literally said to myself, "What the hell?" I was able to plug the hole.
