A state judge refused to issue a temporary injunction that would have halted all Little League playoff games in Texas pending the outcome of a lawsuit. State District Judge Arthur Lesher denied the requested freeze, meaning the games will continue as scheduled, attorney Blaise Heaney said.

The suit was filed by James R. King Jr., father of a player, who was upset that another team was not disqualified from the playoffs even though a team member was not eligible to play.
