The 2015 Western Athletic Conference baseball tournament will take place beginning on May 20 and ending on May 24.[2] The top six regular season finishers of the league's ten teams will meet in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Sloan Park, spring training home of the Chicago Cubs in Mesa, Arizona. The winner will earn the Western Athletic Conference's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
