Great West Conference baseball tournament
Collegiate baseball tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great West Conference baseball tournament, sometimes referred to simply as the Great West tournament, was the conference baseball championship of the NCAA Division I Great West Conference. The eight members of the league played in the double-elimination tournament, which in its final season (2013) was played at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.[1] Because of the league's provisional status in Division I, the winner of the tournament did not receive an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.[2]
