If this happened "multiple times", I think that after the first few I would have had a talk with the coach. Just let him know what the consequences are if I judge it to be intentional. And I'd let him know that if it happens over and over I'm probably going to judge it to be intentional!

One thing that might put a damper on this is to make sure to very clearly and deliberately announce the count more often, especially when you hit "two balls". Kind of makes it hard for the batter to say, "I thought it was ball four", and kind of builds the case for it being deliberate if she heads to first base on ball three.
