Our guy let the ball drop and got a double play. The BU disallowed the double play on the ground that F4 had intentionally dropped the ball. However, he let me appeal to the PU, who overruled him and allowed the double play.
A couple of years later, that BU began a 25-year career in MLB.

There is a big difference between " let the ball drop" and " intentionally dropped the ball".
