Suppose F6 did let the ball fall to the ground intentionally (as one might in the infield). Does anyone think there would have been a double or triple play? It would have probably just been a close play at 3B for one out, and as a stretch, possibly not even getting the out.
The problem there is the "what ifs" do not figure into the rule or application, but the "what couldas" do.
