Haddonfield Little Leaguer Suspended for Bat Flip in State Semifinals
A Haddonfield, NJ Little League baseball player was suspended for a bat flipping incident that occurred in a Little League Baseball Tournament Section 4 New Jersey Championship game between Haddonfield Little League and Harrison Township back on July 16.
