Lawyers representing Little League Baseball said they didn’t have time to properly file paperwork in the case of Marco Rocco, 12, a Haddonfield player who was suspended after tossing his bat into the air to celebrate a home run Thursday.
Gloucester County Chancery Judge Robert Malestein said the defense could have until noon Thursday to file paperwork and that he’d rule by 1:30 p.m. — just a few hours before Rocco’s team is scheduled to play in the state final.
Rocco and his team had been playing Harrison Little League on Thursday when he tossed the bat, prompting the umpire to eject him from the game and suspend him from the next one due to “horseplay.”
His father, Joe Rocco, filed an emergency temporary restraining order Tuesday in an attempt to have the suspension overturned.
