ART. 6 . . . Winning and losing pitchers are determined as follows:

a. If the starting pitcher has pitched the first four innings or more and his

team is ahead when he is replaced and the team holds the lead for the

remainder of the game, he shall be the winning pitcher.

b. If a game ends for whatever reason, having gone less than seven innings,

then the starting pitcher shall have pitched three or more consecutive

innings to be declared the winning pitcher. If the starting pitcher cannot be

declared the winning pitcher, and more than one relief pitcher is used, the

winning pitcher shall be determined using the following criteria:

1. If the score is tied, it results in the game becoming a new contest so

far as judging who is the winning and losing pitcher.

2. If the starting pitcher is removed before having pitched four or more

innings and his team is ahead, the official scorer shall determine the

winning pitcher to be the relief pitcher who has been the most effective.

3. If the opposition goes ahead, pitchers up to that time in the game

cannot be credited with the win. However, if the pitcher pitching subRule

sequently takes and maintains a lead the remainder of the game, said

pitcher is credited with the win.

4. Generally the relief pitcher credited with the win is the pitcher when his

team takes the lead and holds it for the rest of the game. However, if

the relief pitcher pitches only a short while or not effectively and a succeeding

relief pitcher replaces him and does better work in keeping the

lead, the latter shall be granted the win.

c. If a pitcher is removed for a pinch-hitter or a pinch-runner, the runs scored

by his team during the inning of his removal are to be credited to his benefit

to decide the pitcher of record.

d. 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.

e. A pitcher cannot be given credit for pitching a shutout when he does not

pitch the complete game except when he enters the game with no one out

before the opponents have scored in the first inning and does not permit

the opposition to score during the game.

 

Based on the information given, Per the rules, Jehn can not be the winning pitcher
