Stats questions about pitcher shutouts

When looking at college teams' pitching statistics, it will show individual pitcher shutout totals with two numbers. It might show 4-2 or 0-3.

Here's 2024 Texas. What does does 4-2 mean in the case of Mac Morgan? Or 0-3 with Estelle Czech?

"When a starting pitcher leaves the game without surrendering a run and is given a win for his performance." According to this website.

That's interesting. Definitely not the old-school definition, which is a complete-game shutout. None of it matters, really, but noticed how the stat was being listed in both college softball and baseball. Still just one number in MLB stats, at least for individual pitchers.
