Judge dissolves Tulsa restraining order; Boerne Little League advances to World Series

WACO, Texas - A judge has ruled in favor of Boerne Little League and has dissolved Tulsa's temporary restraining order, according to a Boerne source.

We're told an official statement is coming soon. Boerne is advancing to the Little League World Series and will leave this week for Williamsport. The first game will be on August 21 .

Boerne Little League will not return to Waco for a regional championship game tonight and is instead preparing for the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, sources close to the situation tell News 4/FOX San Antonio.

The sources say Boerne has the full backing of Little League International’s legal team and will not be in Waco for the game that had been expected to determine the Southwest Region champion.

News 4 San Antonio Sports Director Don Harris reported on X that Boerne Little League and Little League International have no intention of honoring the temporary court order.

According to Harris, Little League International believes it has full authority to make decisions involving player eligibility and forfeitures and is prepared to defend its decision. Meanwhile, Boerne is preparing to leave for Williamsport later this week and is expected to begin play in the Little League World Series on Aug. 21.

It is the latest dramatic turn in a whirlwind 24 hours for a Boerne team that went from celebrating a regional championship, to being told it would have to play again, to now preparing once again for Williamsport.

Boerne, representing Texas West, walked off the field Monday night believing it had won the Southwest Region championship and punched its ticket to the Little League Baseball World Series.

Boerne defeated Louisiana’s Ascension Parish Little League 4-1 Monday in what had become the de facto Southwest Region championship after Tulsa National Little League was removed from the tournament

This is a mess. Boerne used their pitching staff today as if it was winner take all. Most of the Boerne team has already left Waco to return home. We will see how this plays out in the courts tomorrow. Too bad this is happening to 12 year olds. Geez.
