How is this possible?

I was going thru some of the Royals minor leaguers and was checking out SP Josh Staumont. In one game, these stats were given:

The NWA Naturals lost to the Springfield Cardinals 6-1, but......
Staumont - 6IP 3H 1R 1ER 2BB 11SO Loss

How does he get the loss of a 6-1 game when he only gave up a run in six innings??? Am I missing something here???

Staumont gives up a run, leaves after 6 innings with his team down 1-0, the relievers allow more runs so that his team never evens the score. I.e.:

After 6 innings: 1-0 Cardinals
After 7+ innings: N-0 Cardinals, N>1
Later that inning: N-1 Cardinals
After 9 innings: 6-1 Cardinals.

Staumont was pitching when the Cardinals took the lead, so he gets the loss.

If this were hockey, it wouldn't be the "game-winning run", but in baseball, he gets the loss.

Classic example of why pitcher Wins and Losses is a very overrated evaluation of them

Gaawwwd.....thanks guys.

This should tell you how chaotic my life is! I should've picked up on that easy. That's elementary!

You'll excuse me now...I shall banish myself to the underbelly of Kauffman Stadium ala Phantom of the Opera.
