Court Order Gives Tulsa National One-Game Shot at Southwest Region Berth
A Texas judge granted a temporary restraining order allowing Tulsa National Little League’s 12U team, previously disqualified for an ineligible player, to play a one-game rematch against Texas West (Boerne Little League) on Aug. 11 in Waco to decide the Southwest Region representative for the Little League World Series, overturning the earlier forfeit and region removal with the winner advancing to Williamsport. The decision follows a protest by other leagues; Tulsa National’s softball team faced a separate eligibility ruling earlier, and Little League says the determination is final while supporting affected families.
