A 12-year-old Little Leaguer who faced suspension from his team’s first state tournament game for flipping his bat after hitting a home run was allowed to play Thursday night.

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.

A judge said Little League acted in an “arbitrary and capricious” manner in punishing the 12-year-old boy from New Jersey.

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump 's former personal lawyer, Alina Habba, said on Thursday that she would seek to remain as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey despite a judicial decision this week not to extend her appointment. Habba's statement marked the latest challenge by the Trump administration to oversight by federal courts.

Ms. Habba’s tenure as interim U.S. attorney was slated to end this week, but the Trump administration’s appointment will allow her to remain the top law enforcement official in the state.

The Trump administration believes a complex procedural maneuver will allow the president’s former personal lawyer to remain in the position.
