A Texas judge has reinstated Tulsa National Little League's 12U team, overturning Little League Baseball's decision to disqualify it from the Southwest Region Tournament, the qualifying event ahead of the Little League World Series in Williamsport. The ruling revives the Tulsa side's chance of competing for a place at the sport's showcase youth tournament after it had initially been eliminated over an eligibility dispute.

Little League Baseball had ruled on the Monday that the Tulsa team fielded an ineligible player and removed it from the regional tournament as a result. The Texas judge's intervention reverses that decision, though the article does not specify the legal grounds for the ruling or the player's eligibility issue in detail.
