Scoring question - who gets credited with the win?

I am wondering what the criteria is for crediting a win to a pitcher. I read the new change for NFHS which was something like the starting pitcher has to pitch at least half the innings that she is in the game, but I don't know all the other stuff.

Game situation is - Starting pitcher leaves game (completely) after 2 innings, score is 15 - 0 (we're ahead). Second pitcher pitches 3 innings (in game all 5 innings), score is 20 - 2, I have no idea if the runs are against her - I think at least one went in on an error possibly both. Who is credited the win?

I think this is one of the most complicated things about softball! LOL

This is not a big deal, just wondering, it was DDs first HS/Varsity game and was wondering if she can say she got her first win too. ;) We were just thrilled that she got to pitch, wasn't expecting it. Basically got way ahead earlier so he let her pitch. She did pretty darn good though! ;)

The second pitcher would get the win because the starting pitcher did not pitch at least half of the game.
