Best of luck to all teams today!

Please be sure to monitor your team's pitching and reference the pitching rules message in the mobile app for any questions on when additional innings are earned for each player (starting with the 5th game played)

Innings never reset during the tournament.

If there is an error on your pitching log, please e-mail chris@triplecrownsports.com and we will review the card from the game in question. Please include as many details as possible with your message

Finally, as a reminder, additional innings are earned for each player starting with the 5th game played. And, as a reminder, if a team had a "bye" in the bracket / schedule, that "bye" is not a game played.

Bowling Green Park
Triple Crown players, coaches, and fans welcome to the brand new Monroe Coleman field. This field was created with private funds from the Omaha community with the mission to encourage and advance baseball for the underprivileged players in North and South Omaha. If you are not in that group it is a privilege to be playing on this field. We are dedicated to keeping this new field looking brand new and expect the same from you. A few rules that everyone must follow:
1. No SEEDS or any consumable that can damage the turf is allow by fans, coaches, or players. This includes gum, tobacco products, sticky candy, etc.
2. Trash cans are provided throughout the complex. Please pick up after yourself and those around you after your game. Please keep the viewing areas and dugouts spotless.
3. Treat each other and the umpires with respect.
4. No parking at St. Pius/St. Leo School

Parking and the parking lot traffic can be tricky while we are undergoing construction. If you are not the first game of the day I would recommend parking in the neighborhood beyond the right field fence. This is roughly 70th Ave and Decatur St. There is a nice paved trail from the neighborhood into the park. You will avoid most traffic parking in this area of the neighborhood.

Pitching Rules (through first 4 games played):
8u–12u: 6 innings
13u–14u: 7 innings

We do not track by thirds of innings. One pitch / play will result in a full inning of pitching being charged. Thus, it is possible for a team to have 5 innings of pitching recorded in a game that only played 4 innings.

Note: For all age groups, each player earns 1 additional inning per game starting with the 5th game played. Example, in a 12u team's 6th game, all players would be eligible for 8 total innings through the 6th game. Innings never reset.

Visits to the mound:
As per NFHS rules, each team is allowed three charged visits to the mound within a game. A charged visit is a trip in which the manager or coach does not remove the pitcher. After the three charged visits are used, every trip to the mound will result in the pitcher being removed. A visit is not “charged” when the manager removes the pitcher from the mound. Remember, charged visits are cumulative for the entire game (visits are not tracked “per pitcher”). No restrictions on visits per inning.
