A Passaic County judge approved a $14.5 million settlement Wednesday to a Little League player left brain-damaged by a ball hit with an aluminum bat.

Steven Domalewski, then 12, of Wayne, was pitching in a 2006 youth baseball game when a line drive struck him in the chest.

Now 19, he is nearly blind, his speech is impaired and he is confined to a wheelchair.
