Fed and USSSA do not allow the fielder to intentionally manipulate the ball to the ground in this situation. There is a Fed case play in which the fielder uses the back of her glove to slap the fly ball to the ground, and then pick it up. The ruling is the same as if the ball is intentionally dropped.
Pony does not have anything other that the 8.11.h rule which states "If a fielder intentionally drops..." (or I least I didn't see it in the POE section.)
