Pitcher Win/Loss decision
Question
My son pitched 6 full innings recently and left the game tied at 2-2. The relief pitcher came in and pitched 5 innings (for a total of 11 innings). Our team scored an additional run in the bottom of 11th to win 3-2. What are the official pitching decision stats for each of the 2 pitchers on our team?
Answer
Jack,
You son gets a no decision. The relief pitcher gets the win. Typically, whatever pitcher is pitching when their team takes a lead that it doesn't lose gets the win.
Your son's ERA is 3.00 assuming both runs that scored were earned. The relief pitcher's is 0.00.
Hope this helps!
