Judge allows 12-year-old to play after ‘unsportsmanlike’ bat-flip suspension

A 12-year-old Little Leaguer, Marco Rocco, was suspended from his team's first state tournament game for performing a bat-flip celebration after hitting a game-winning home run. The Rocco family sought an emergency ruling to overturn the penalty, and a judge granted their request, allowing Marco to play in the state tournament game on Thursday. The suspension was issued due to the umpire's determination that Marco's actions were "unsportsmanlike" and constituted "horseplay." However, the judge's decision has overturned the suspension, enabling the young player to participate in the important tournament game.
