Starter pitches into the 4th (no outs) when he walks the first two hitters and is replaced up 9-1 (lots of pitches, six walks, on fumes recovering from an illness, very gutty performance against a good hitting team).
My boy comes in gives up a single, double play (run scores), single (run scores) out. 9-3 after 4.
5th inning, leadoff HR, 3 outs, 9-4 after 5.
6th inning, 2 ground ball singles, bunt single, bloop single, double roped down the line, no outs, runner at second, 4 runs in now 9-8. 2+ IP, 8 hits, 5 ER.
Closer comes in and gets 6 straight, we win 9-8.
Official scorer gives win to starter (like they always do regardless of the rules). I think it should go to the closer, who was 'the most effective' per 10.17 B. Any other opinions?
