Marco Rocco’s bat flip during the July 16 Little League sectional final led to an ejection, a one-game suspension, and legal action that resulted in a judge lifting the suspension. His father obtained an emergency temporary restraining order allowing Marco to play in the double-elimination state tournament. The signed bat was auctioned by Goldin Auctions with 68 bids, selling for $9,882; the buyer’s name was not announced. All proceeds will be donated to Haddonfield Little League. The incident was commemorated with a Little League World Series pin and drew support from major leaguers.
