It does beg the question --- you tell her to pitch, she fires off a passed ball, and runners try to advance. This would be live, right? I'm assuming so (but again --- can't find the specific rule).

For ASA it rule 7:3:B, and the ball is dead and no pitch has to be thrown.
For NFHS the rule is 7:2:1:e and 7:3:1. It doesn't state that a pitch is required, but it does address if the pitch is thrown, to call it a strike.
