I wasn't referring to this situation, but I see how my words could have been unclear. I was referring to two different base on balls.
When a female batter is walked, she gets 1B. When a male batter is walked, he gets 2B. If there are two outs, and a male batter is walked (either intentionally or from 4 called balls), the female has the option to walk as well. If there are less than two outs, the female batter must bat.
Guess I said it too quickly.
