Portolite mounds key for one of nation's largest baseball tournaments

More than 700 teams playing on 50+ fields. When Event Director Brandon Hardy of Triple Crown Sports Baseball Division says he knows the durability of Portolite Pitchers Mounds, he means it.

Hardy oversees the Omaha SlumpBuster Tournament for Triple Crown, which is held annually to coincide with the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

"These mounds are the toughest in the industry," said Hardy. "They hold up to incredible wear from our tournaments and programs. And you can't beat the portability."

Triple Crown first took a look at Portolite game mounds because so many of their baseball events were held on softball and non-high school fields, so there were no permanent mounds.

Pitchers were throwing from a flat surface. The Portolite 6" One-Piece Game Mound helped give Triple Crown a competitive edge – a way to differentiate their events.

With a tournament the size of the SlumpBuster, field staff have to move mounds around a considerable amount. Portolite's lightweight design makes that an easy two-person job. And Hardy is a big fan of the efficiency.

According to Hardy, Portolite has dominated Triple Crown baseball diamonds for the entirety of his 16-year tenure with the company.

"Portolite is a superior product," said Hardy. "Players, coaches and our event staff all believe in these mounds.”

Hardy said he's even recommended Portolite mounds to many facilities around Omaha after they've hosted Triple Crown tournament games.

Portolite Pitching Mound’s 10-year limited warranty says it all. Portolite has set the standard in lightweight, durable and portable pitching mounds since 1992.
