Three leagues participating in the Little League Baseball Southwest Region Tournament filed a joint protest against Tulsa National Little League on Sunday morning and on Monday afternoon, the fate of Team Oklahoma was revealed.
Oklahoma has been disqualified from the Southwest Region Tournament, according to team representatives from Louisiana and Texas West.
Tulsa National Little League is facing another tournament controversy.
Just weeks after its softball team was removed from the Southwest Region Tournament, three leagues have filed a joint protest involving Tulsa National's baseball program.
The Tulsa National softball program was disqualified just three weeks ago, reaching the championship game before being removed from the tournament due to an ineligible player.
The baseball program from Oklahoma had already earned a spot in the championship game. It was awaiting the winner of the Louisiana and Texas West semifinal game with a berth to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, on the line. Tulsa National parents, along with support from their district, hired an attorney hours after the team was disqualified and Boerne County Little League of Texas West was named the Southwest champion.
