SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Little League Baseball will use instant replay at this year's World Series to review questionable home runs and other close plays at the outfield fence, beating the major leagues in instituting a system to review some disputed calls.

The limited replay system would be in place on an experimental basis when the 2008 tournament begins Aug. 15 and be re-evaluated following the series, Little League president Stephen Keener said Tuesday.

Replay would be used "to overturn an obvious wrong," said Dennis Lewin, chairman of Little League's Board of Directors.

The rule limits replay to instances in which a batted ball "leaves the field of play at or near the outfield fence, or should have been ruled out of the field of play" at or near the fence.

BOSTON — The Los Angeles Angels acquired slugging first baseman Mark Teixeira from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, a trade that further bolsters the team with the best record in the major leagues.The Angels, with a whopping 11Z\x-game lead in the AL West and clearly aimed at making a World Series run, sent infielder Casey Kotchman and minor league pitcher Steve Marek to Atlanta.The deal came two days before baseball's deadline for making trades without waivers. Teixeira was among the top names in the rumor mill, and should help a club that wanted to add another big bat to back its potent pitching staff.
