Tulsa National Little League remains disqualified after court ruling

A Texas judge upheld the disqualification of Tulsa National Little League, preventing the team from competing in the championship game of the Southwest Region on August 12, 2026. The decision followed Little League Baseball's determination that a player was ineligible due to an incorrect birth year entered on behalf of a sibling. A temporary restraining order had briefly allowed Tulsa to play, but it was vacated just before the match was set to start. West Texas, represented by Boerne Little League, secured a spot in the upcoming international tournament by defeating Louisiana 4-1 the day prior. Tulsa National's previous game was also declared a forfeit due to the disqualification.
