re: #2 LSU 5 @ Alabama 0 | TIGERS WIN! | Astro's summary in OP | Game 2 - 7:00 Sat

quote:

---

You can pitch shutout innings but if you don't go a complete game, it isn't a shutout for that pitcher, it is a team shutout.

---

you can throw shut out innings and be relieved

you can throw a complete game while allowing runs

you can only combine complete game shut out when 1 pitcher goes 9 innings and gives up no runs

ETA: and in the statistics category there is a line for complete games which aren't shut outs... so it must be differentiated
