Triple Crown’s SlumpBuster® has become a fixture on the youth circuit, entering its 23rd year as a tournament dedicated to building memories and bringing families together around the great game of baseball. More than 40 states from coast to coast send teams to Omaha in June for the opportunity to play unique competition and sharpen their skills for the summer campaign.​

By playing in the SlumpBuster®, teams have an opportunity to attend a College World Series game. Triple Crown schedules the tournament so teams can make their way to beautiful Charles Schwab Stadium and watch the best Division 1 programs in the NCAA compete for a national title. Immerse your kids in the excitement, check out the activities downtown and see baseball how it was meant to be played!​ ​

The Triple Crown SlumpBuster® and the NCAA® College World Series® are separate, non-related events that coincide in June.

​SlumpBuster Philosophy: Score Early, Win Early, Stay Winning. If weather hits we may revert back to first Pool Play game or ½ of official game time for playoff seedings. We will give awards based off pool play seeding only in an emergency where games played without elimination finish due to inclement weather. The ultimate goal of the event is to play ball not “Crown a Champion.” Play to win every game!
