Winning Pitcher

Starting pitcher must pitch first four innings to get credit for a win. Relief pitcher who is pitcher of record when team takes the lead, and opposition neither ties nor takes the lead, gets the win. Unless he is considered to be ineffective. RULE 9.6.6.

Right -- in college, though, you can give the win to the first pitcher, as long as it was pre-determined to use three or more pitchers.
