There was a recent 9 inning college baseball game that was played with a set rotation for the pitching staff. The starter went 2 innings, the next pitcher went 2, the next pitcher went 3, the last two pitchers went an inning a piece. The official scorer at the school gave the win to the starter since the pitching rotation was preset before the game began. I looked all over for the ruling on this, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know about this rule? I thought the starter had to go 5 regardless.
Thanks for the help!!

In NCAA, the rule is something like, "if it is predetermined that 3 or more pitchers will be used, then the starter need not go 5 innings to get the win." It's a "scoring rule", so I'm not going to go look it up, but it is available on line.
