Intentionally dropping or rolling the ball to get 4 balls for the walk can be illegal.

This is a change from the 2006 rule which I was remembering but the effect is the same.

2009 NSA Ruleset Fastpitch and Modified Pitch

When a team is left with a vacant spot in the lineup because of a player as described in Sec. 4 (b), the opposing team may not, with two outs, intentionally or unintentionally walk the previous batter in order to get the "AUTOMATIC OUT" created by the vacant spot in the batting order. This would also include catcher obstruction to the previous batter or the previous batter being hit by a legal or illegally pitched ball. If the previous batter is walked or hit by a legal or illegally pitched ball, the vacant spot is skipped, the "AUTOMATIC OUT" is waived, and the next batter is the player whose name follows the vacant spot in the batting order. This only applies when here are two (2) outs.
