Baseball Pitching Win/Loss Rules: Understanding No Decisions & Wins

Question
My son pitched 6 full innings recently and left the game tied at 2-2.  The relief pitcher came in and pitched 5 innings (for a total of 11 innings).  Our team scored an additional run in the bottom of 11th to win 3-2.  What are the official pitching decision stats for each of the 2 pitchers on our team?

Answer
Jack,

You son gets a no decision.  The relief pitcher gets the win.  Typically, whatever pitcher is pitching when their team takes a lead that it doesn't lose gets the win.

Your son's ERA is 3.00 assuming both runs that scored were earned.  The relief pitcher's is 0.00.

Hope this helps!
