Three Nebraska summer league baseball teams are among seven facing a lawsuit which seeks to keep them from playing this summer.
By News Channel NebraskaHASTINGS, Neb. -- Three Nebraska summer league baseball teams are among seven facing a lawsuit which seeks to keep them from playing this summer.
The Hastings Sodbusters, Fremont Moo and Western Nebraska Pioneers were among a group that left the Expedition League after the 2021 season and joined the newly formed Independence League.
Now the Expedition League has filed a lawsuit in a South Dakota court, accusing the seven teams of breach of contract and civil conspiracy, among other accusations made in a 31-page document.
The league is seeking an injunction to prohibit the seven teams from playing in the stadiums currently leased to the teams.
None of the teams have issued a formal response to the lawsuit as of yet.
