Angry Pitcher substitution AI

Top of the 9th. I bring in my closer. He's listed in the Pitching Staff as my closer. Strikes out the first batter. Second batter draws a walk, but it's a close call and I have the option of arguing the call. Why not? I manufactured the winning run in the 8th inning, I've made my defensive substitutions, and I've got my closer on the mound with 1 out. I argue the call, get ejected from the game, and the computer AI takes over. It immediately pulls my closer from the mound and puts in my lefty middle relief guy to face a bunch of right handed batters. They shell they guy. Eventually another middle relief guy is brought in to finish the inning, but not before the opponents score 4 runs. I lose the game by 3.

Why did the computer AI pull my closer in the last inning of a 1 run game???
