Reply to "When does a pitcher become pitcher of record."

You did not get away with one, but your reasoning is incorrect.
First of all High School rules allows the pitcher to be removed and re-entered as pitcher provided he doesnot leave the game. Thus because of you "local" rule what you did was correct.
The real issue is that once a pitcher a relief pitcher enters the game (this occurs once the pitcher takes his place on the pitcher's plate)he must pitch to a batter.
Winning and losing pitchers: Starting pitcher has pitched the 1st 4 innings. Therefore, regardless of what happened the "Pitcher of Record" was the starting pitcher since he pitched 4 innings.
