I would rule that B4 does come to bat in this case.
And that the only way you would "skip" a batter is if the improper batter was called out as a result of their time at bat and they are scheduled to be the immediate next proper batter.

Any thoughts or comments?

I'm going along the lines that a player who was put out is going to be skipped this time through the batting order. The exception would be if the BOO was the 3rd out of the inning, then the player which was retired on the BOO play would bat in the next inning.

Pretty sure I heard KR make this statement at a regional clinic and I'm going to reference the Rules Clarification from May 2007

Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)

Pretty sure part of the train of thought is that the player cannot make multiple outs in the same inning without at least 7-8 batters between those two at bats.
