NSA 4-4-c
If an injury drops a team from 11 to 10, 10 to 9, 9 to 8, then yes the empty spot in the lineup is an automatic out. But with 2 outs you cannot walk intentionally or unintentionally to get to that out. Also you cannot have catcher's obstruction or a HBP to the previous batter. If those happen you waive the automatic out and move to the next person in the lineup.

NSA 5-3-e-7
If an ejection drops a team from 9 to 8, then the game is forfeited.

If you have a substitute then ignore the above.
