Template:Infobox NCAA conference tournament

The Southern Conference baseball tournament is the conference championship tournament in baseball for the Southern Conference. The winner of the tournament receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I baseball tournament. The event is scheduled for the Wedneaday through Sunday before Memorial Day each year, five days prior to the NCAA Regionals.[1]

Tournament

The Southern Conference Baseball Tournament is held annually. Since 2022, all eight teams sponsoring baseball in the conference participate in the tournament. The bottom four teams play in a single-elimination play-in round, and the two play-in winners join the rest of the teams in a six-team double-elimination tournament. The previous format in 2021 included the eight teams competing in a two-bracket double-elimination tournament. Prior to 2020, when there were more than eight baseball teams in the conference, there was a single-elimination play-in round followed by an eight-team two-bracket double-elimination tournament. The winner receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I baseball tournament while the other teams must rely on an at-large bid.

History

The Southern Conference first held a baseball tournament in 1950.[2] Maryland and Virginia Tech from the North division, and Clemson and Wake Forest from the South played the inaugural year in Greensboro, North Carolina,[3] with Wake Forest defeating Maryland for the title. In 1951, Clemson, Duke, Maryland, and West Virginia met, with Duke defeating Clemson in the final.[4] Duke repeated their title in 1952, over N.C. State, George Washington, and Richmond.[5] Duke, George Washington, Maryland, and North Carolina participated in 1953, with Duke again the winner.[6][7]

The tournament was renewed in 1984 as a four-team tournament. The tournament was held at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in Charleston, South Carolina, from 1997 to 2008, and again in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 and 2013, the tournament was played at Fluor Field at the West End in Greenville, South Carolina, before returning to Charleston in 2014 and 2015. The tournament has been in Greenville every year since 2016, with the exception of the 2020 edition being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
