Who is winning pitcher?

OK, starting pitcher is pulled in top of 5th inning w/ his team on top 8-4 and 2 outs, and 2 on base . With relief pitcher in the other team ties it up but never goes ahead. Bottom of the 5th the team goes ahead again 12-8 and wins the game. Who is the winning pitcher?

The pitcher of decision is who was on the hill when go-ahead run score. It sounds like the reliever 'vultured a win' - allowing the game to be tied and then won while he was on the mound.

That is precisely correct. On the hill = pitcher of record.
