[net.sport.baseball] Question on Forfeits

tommyo@ihuxw.UUCP (Tom O`Connor) (07/25/84)

A couple days ago our softball team won a forfeited game,
the opposition only had 6 players.  I know that a forfeit
in baseball is given a 9-0 score, but I want to know if
you can credit the scheduled starting pitcher on our team
with a victory.  I don`t want to take credit for a win I don`t
legally deserve to get, but if I can up my winning percentage,
I`ll take it.  Anybody know the ruling on this one?
