Collegiate baseball tournament
The 2011 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference baseball tournament began on May 18 and ended on May 21 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark , on the campus of Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida . It was a six-team double elimination tournament. Bethune-Cookman won the tournament, as they have done each year but one since the tournament began in 1999. The Wildcats claimed the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference 's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Division I baseball tournament .[ 2]
The top six finishers from the regular season were seeded one through six based on conference winning percentage only, with the top seed playing the sixth seed, second seed playing the fifth, and so on for first round matchups. The winners advanced in the winners' bracket, while first round losers played elimination games. The format meant that Coppin State was left out of the field.
