Tonight I remembered where this rule came from. I started working a local fastpitch summer league that uses (loosely) NSA rules. Took out the book today to refreshen the mind and right there, NSA 4-4-c, covers the disallowing of a walk to get to the automatic out. So the rule does exist, but not in the ASA game I was doing when this originally came up. Guess it just goes to show you that you got to keep on your toes when you switch from one organization to another.
