co-ed
 

NSA co-ed slow pitch.
Had a situation at co-ed last nite.
Team playing with 9 players. Rule: When 10th comes up=automatic out.
Situation:
B9 (male) batting & walks, is 10th (female), automatically out? Or does the other rule apply, can't walk male to get female? Also, is the ruling different with no outs vs 2 outs?

Thanks in advance

Are 10 players required?

Rule says 10-11-12 can play. Rule also says a team start with 9, but when #10 comes up to bat, it's an auto out. But there's also another rule that says you can't walk a male to get to the female (w/o a penalty).

When you "take" the out for the missing female player that nullifies the "can't walk a male to get to a female batter".
