A decision Tuesday by Little League International to accept a district court’s rejection of a temporary restraining order filed by an Oklahoma team has cleared the way for Boerne to proceed to next week’s Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Boerne Little League, playing as “ Texas West,” was crowned the Southwest Region champs after they defeated Louisiana 4-1 on Monday in Waco.
A team from Oklahoma was disqualified for using an ineligible player and a judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order, ordering a championship game between Boerne and Tulsa be played Tuesday.
“ We appreciate the (414th District) Court’s timely and considered decision to vacate the Temporary Restraining Order, allowing enforcement of the Tournament Committee’s decision to remove Tulsa National Little League from the Southwest Region Tournament and declare its previous game a forfeit,” LLI said Tuesday.
