BoomerSooner,
I stand corrected. Nice catch.
UmpDuck,
No. Under FED rules, the starting pitcher must pitch at least 4 innings to be credited with the win. Since the "go ahead" run was scored while the starting pitcher was the pitcher of record, and he only pitched one inning, he cannot be credited with the win.
