1 pitcher every inning

After re-reading the OP, I see that I missed the fact that it was a FED game.
Thank you.

Thank you.

The same general concept would apply to pretty much all other rulesets that I'm readily knowledgeable about. I've done a fair deal of scoring (keeps me sharp when watching MLB and minor league games), and I know MLB scoring rules are essentially the same with the exception that the SP must work at least 5 complete innings. Most score sets use 5 IP in a 9 inning game or 4 IP for a 7 inning game (the only reason I don't say all, is I'm not familiar with LL).
