TO UPDATE THE PERSON'S POST ABOVE: MLB Rules state that a condition for a "save" is that the pitcher is not eligible for a "win". As such, a relief pitcher entering the game prior to the 5th as a reliever would get credit for the win, with no save allocated. If a pitcher pitches 6 innings and leaves the mound with the lead to field another position, then returns in the 9th to close, he remains credited with the win (if his score holds) with no save allocated.

As for a team taking the lead with a pinch-hitter for a pitcher, the actual change of pitcher of record does not take effect until the next pitcher "takes the mound". Though the pitcher is removed for a pinch-hitter, the performance of the team will affect his ability to win the game. In other words, if the pitcher leaves the game while his team is on offense with the lead, he can only earn a win or a no decision. If he leaves the game while his team is on offense with a tie or behind, he can win, lose, or have a no-decision, depending on what the score is when the next pitcher takes the mound.

* At bat - Strikes - 3 attempts at hitting the pitched ball with the bad and missing three times, not necessarily in a row. * Fly ball - After hitting the ball it is caught without touching the ground by a player on the opposing team ... you are instantly "out" * Base Tag - If baseman of opposing team gets ball before you arrive at a base, you can be "tagged" out

There may be more reasons, but these are what I can think of at the moment.

Softball is a very complex sport, alotugh to some people (mainly Baseball players) it is condidered a copy or stupid. To win a softball game you will usaully need a good pitcher, a good catcher, an awesome 1st baseball, A good shortstop a good 2nd baseman, a good 3rd basemen, and fast outfielders who have quick reflexes. Also you will need a supportive coach and team. but mainly to win you will need to not watch strikes fly when your batting, try to swing at them. As my coach would say "I would rather see you strike out swinging than getting a walk or strinking out watching" Also be sure to TRY YOUR BEST!

To be the best you have to train... HARD. You also CAN'T get nervous in your games. act normal. If your the pitcher take a deep breath before every throw. 1st base just catch the ball and do your job. catcher do your best and make no mistakes. second catch every grounder popfly etc. shortstop is pretty much the commander not really but has to calm the pitcher down if he is doing bad like you have to help him out also u have to call which out it is and which play the ball goes to (like plays at first or second, turn 2 etc.).Out field not much just catch the BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

First of all you have to have a lot of power. Then you have to swing up, but you don't want to swing up all of the time because it causes pop flies which can get you out easily.

How does a pitcher earn the win starting leaves the game up 4 - 0. releaving pitcher allows 4 runs. we end up winning by 1 run scoring in the 6th. who gets the win?

The winning pitcher is the pitcher of record when the winning run was scored. This could be the relief pitcher even though he gave up four runs, blowing the lead, if said relief pitcher was the pitcher of record when the winning run was scored. The starting pitcher, even though he pitched well in this situation, cannot be credited the win.

How does a pitcher earn a win in softball?

If pitchers' team is ahead when he leaves the game (all runners left on base that score, are charged to the pitcher that left them on base), he gets the win. The pitcher must pitch at least 5 innings in a game over 6 innings to get the win. If it is a tie game and the relieving pitcher's team wins, relieving pitcher gets the win. Otherwise he is charged with the loss. If the relieving pitcher's team is winning when he enters as a pitcher and then loses the game, the relieving pitcher is charged with a loss. If the relieving pitcher's team is winning when he enters the game as a pitcher and wins, the relieving pitcher is given a Save.

yes, if he is the starting pitcher he has to go a minimum of 5 innings and his team has to be leading when he exits the game and never lose their lead and win the game. A pitcher can win in relief if he comes in when the game is tied or his team is losing, and his team rallies after he pitches and win the game, but they can't give up their lead after he pitches or he won't get the win someone else will get the win
