When Littleton came into the game, he didn't lose the lead and pitched effectively for three innings. The scorer has the discretion to award the save based on that.
I don't know if we play you guys again, but as crappy as our pen is this year you guys might have 40 runs next time. Sheeesh!!

Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game."
This is hilarious.
