Save problem.

[Gagnon39]

So I just won a game 14-4. I put Eddie Butler into pitch in the 7th when the game was 12-3. He pitched the last three innings... and was credited with a save. What the heck? Is this a one-time, odd glitch or is this a recurring issue that some of you guys have seen?

Re: Save problem.

That’s correct, he should get a save. If you pitch the last three innings+ of a game you get credited with a save

Not a bug...it's a condition for being credited with a save

Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. Sorry for doubting you, SCEA. Haha.

Its a glitch in the rulebook IMOlike throwing a perfect game for 4 & two thirds, leave with an injury up 9-0,
your replacement pitches the next 4 & one thirds, gives up 8 runs and gets the dubya.

Re: Save problem.

I'm pretty sure in that case the scorer can actually give the win to the starter.

Re: Save problem.

As mentioned, pitching the final three innings of a game your team wins is an automatic save regardless of the score.
