A temporary restraining order issued by a Texas judge will allow a previously disqualified team from Tulsa, Okla., to play for a spot in the Little League Baseball World Series.
Earlier Monday, Little League International had removed the Tulsa National Little League squad from the Southwest Region tournament for allegedly using an ineligible player.
However, Judge Ryan Luna of the 414th District Court then granted the order that will allow Tulsa National to play against Texas West on Tuesday in Waco, Texas, according to multiple reports.
The protests also called into question whether Tulsa National had conducted a valid season in its Challenger Division, a special needs-focused league.
“The winner of the game,” a statement from the Tulsa league read, “will be determined on the field where it should be decided.”
