The 2007 Southland Conference Baseball Tournament was held from May 23 through May 26, 2007[2] to determine the champion of the Southland Conference in the sport of college baseball for the 2007 season. The event pitted the top six finishers from the conference's regular season in a double-elimination tournament held at H. Alvin Brown–C. C. Stroud Field, home field of Northwestern State in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Fourth-seeded Sam Houston State won their second overall championship, and what would be the first of three consecutive titles, and claimed the automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[3]
