Triple Crown, Central Texas Select Baseball in Association for Two 2022 Events
With full appreciation of the talent pool and competitive drive found within Texas youth baseball, Triple Crown Sports has entered into a marketing agreement with Central Texas Select Baseball for two 2022 events in Waco, TX.
First up is the North/South Shootout, set for Sept. 24-25, followed by the Battle on the Bosque, slated for Nov. 5-6. Both events welcome teams from age groups 9u through 14u; the primary facility for the tournaments is Riverbend Park, an eight-field complex in the north-central part of the city near the Bosque River.
“I have been involved in baseball for over 30 years as an organizational owner, coach, Perfect Game Director, event director and tournament director,” said CTS co-founder Sandy Shofner. “I am looking forward in helping revive youth baseball in the Central Texas area and especially at Riverbend Park in Waco.”
“Triple Crown has worked in and around Texas baseball for decades and has always appreciated how coaches and players from the state make our events special,” said TCS chief operating officer Sean Hardy. “We look forward to adding our skill set in spreading the word about Central Texas Select Baseball events and see a bright future with the market in and around Waco.”
Triple Crown Sports has been producing youth, high school and college events for 40 years and runs multiple events in the Dallas Metroplex. TCS also powers one of the largest and most well-regarded youth baseball events in the world, the SlumpBuster, which drew more than 715 teams in June 2022 and runs during the D-I College World Series in Omaha.

The 2024 season marks the 30th year of Triple Crown Baseball, a grass-roots dream come to life that now reaches across the nation delivering competitive, memorable events that inspire and elevate athletes, teams and the families who make it a point to join the fun. In 1993, the predominantly slowpitch softball mindset of Triple Crown Sports began to broaden to include a handful of pilot baseball events; one year later, softball veteran Roland Rivera approached CEO David King with the idea to expand in baseball. A modest budget fueled nine events, eight in Colorado and one in the unlikely setting of the Mickey Owen Baseball School outside Springfield, MO. In 1995, the first TCS World Series welcomed 40 teams to Ulysses Park in Golden, CO., and in 1996, regional expansion took the baseball division past 20 events. That year, the "Eureka!" moment for TCS baseball occurred, as 165 teams swarmed Golden for the World Series. Good timing, superior event execution and hard-working staff proved to be the recipe, and the World Series moved to Steamboat Springs where it has become a mandatory stop in youth baseball. With events from Washington to Florida and California to New York, Triple Crown Baseball event directors only want to grow the game – with our partners in the high-achieving club world and the neighborhood teams who fell in love with the sport and are excited to get better and have experiences that will always be remembered.
