Tonight's matchup between the Hoptown Hoppers and the Franklin Duelers has been forfeited due to the use of an ineligible player. The ineligible player was used in the game after being suspended a prior game and was not eligible for this game. The OVL ByLaws specifically address the use of an ineligible player in Article 18 Section 5 paragraph B, which states:

"Any championship (regular season) game, which any player not previously registered with the League President or the Umpire-In-Chief as an active player prior to the game, and competes, shall be forfeited by a score of 9-0 to the team against which the ineligible player shall be charged with a loss."

Therefore, Franklin will be charged with the loss and Hoptown will be credited with a win. The ineligible player will not be credited with his stats, however, all other player's stats will remain unchanged. For more information, please contact us.
