Central MS - Beating Breast Cancer-Presented by Triple Play Sports

To learn more on how you can bring awareness to Breast Cancer, please click this link! Breast Cancer Awareness

Please check your schedules, we had to make some changes today. Please check your schedule location for Saturday & Sunday. If you see what you think is a mistake, please let us know! 

9A, 10A, & 14U will have a consolation bracket. We do not issue rings or medals for consolation brackets. 

Top 2 in consolation will receive hit cards from D-Bat. Each team gets 10 cards with a whole lot of swings on each. This can be a great asset for your team. (Consolation brackets happen because of multiple reasons but the two main reasons include field space &  protection of player arms by not having to play to many games in a day. Once a division reaches more than 10 teams, there is normally a consolation bracket, especially for younger ages.)

Welcome to our  "Beating Breast Cancer" event! 

Please make sure your team parents see this information. 

NO SUNFLOWER SEEDS AT ANY LOCATION! - IF YOUR TEAM IS CAUGHT WITH SUNFLOWER SEEDS YOU WILL BE SUBJECT

TO FORFEIT AND/OR A $500 FINE

NO Steel Spikes at any location!
