The starting pitcher shall be charged with the loss when he is replaced and his team is behind or falls behind because of runs assessed to him after being replaced and his team does not subsequently tie the score or take the lead.

Same in OBR, same in NCAA.

since the run that won the game was charged to the releiver and the starters team score enough to tie the number of runs charged to the starter why does the starter get the loss

Because the rules say so. The "run that won the game" was the run that put the winning team ahead in the first place ... not the run that later became enough to keep them ahead.

And Pony, Dixie, U-Trip, LL, and all versions of softball. Probably Calvinball too.
