Why wasn't Cotton eligible for a save?

Not up on how you qualify for a save and was too lazy to look it up (it's late).

I thought it had to be 3 runs or less when he came in to be a save.
ETA: What I meant to say is if LSU had a 3 run or less lead and then LSU won, Cotton would have gotten the save.

He didn't pitch 3 innings and the tieing run was not on Deck

Not sure about the college rules, but a save is when leading by 3 runs or less, unless you enter the game and the tying run is on deck. I believe you can also get a save if you pitch the last three innings.
I am sure someone will correct me.

You are correct. A save is...
1) Coming into the game where your team leads by 3 runs or less AND you pitch at least 3 outs.
2) The tying run is on deck
3) Pitch 3 innings (the official scorer get to decide if a save is awarded in this case, I've never seen them not award it.)

Thanks for the answers guys. And Honkus, F/U. I don't value my life by how many times I post on a damn message board like you evidently do.

"The Official

c. He meets one of the following conditions:
(1) He enters the game with a lead of not more than three runs and pitches at least one
inning;

(3) He pitches effectively for at least three innings.

While we are on questions, I was wondering why we don't have to play a game on Sunday?

I have always been troubled by the following scenario......runner on first, batter hits a soft line drive to the outfield that is not caught. The runner on first freezes to make sure the ball is not caught, but gets thrown out at second. I have always scored that play as a fielders choice, but I think the batter should be credited with a hit. Thoughts?

Definitely not a hit. I agree with the rule that it isn't ruled a hit until all forced runners are safe. Otherwise, just because it goes to the outfield doesn't make it any different then a 6-4 put out. An infield single is ruled a single just like a more traditional base hit.

quote:Once again agree, All I am saying is the batter is penalized in this situation because if there was no runner on first it would clearly be a "hit".
