Pitcher win/loss/save
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:16 am
It may have been addressed previously but if so I cant find it.
Scenario: starting pitcher goes 3 full innings and score is tied 3-3 top of the 4th his team scores 3 runs and new pitcher enters game in bottom of 4th with visiting team now leading 6-3. Reliever completes game and allows only 1 more run which is scored in bottom of the 5th. Visitors win 6-4. If I understand the rule correctly the win goes to the starting pitcher because he is still the in the game until the reliever takes the mound in the bottom of 4th.
Also a save is awarded to the relief pitcher because he took the mound when the lead was 3 runs or less and completed the game.
Just want to make sure I credit the win correctly. Thanks for you help!
