Marco Rocco fidgeted with his helmet and dug in at the plate to chants of “Marco! Marco!” from his Little League teammates as he settled in for a night of baseball, after his family got mixed up in a court case where a judge — not an umpire or coach — made the call that allowed him to take the field.

Marco Rocco, a Haddonfield Little Leaguer, was initially suspended for flipping his bat after hitting a home run in the final of the sectional tournament.

The Little League World Series will take place in Williamsport, Pennsylvania next month. A team from New Jersey is attempting to get there. However, things have been made more difficult thanks to a controversial suspension.
