No, Faldage, I don't think that's possible. Far as I know the dimensions of the ball and pins and the placement of the pins is such that if the ball went exactly between two pins in the same plane, it would take down both. Where it goes between standing pins is when they appear to be close together but are not in the same plane (like 7 and 8); e.g., 2 and 5, or 4 and 8.
I have done some duckpin bowling (was even in the neighborhood league for a while) and I don't remember any time when the ball slipped between two adjacent pins without taking down at least one of them.
