Rankings from Collegiate Baseball

The 2014 Southwestern Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament was held at Wesley Barrow Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 14 through May 18, 2014. Jackson State won their sixteenth tournament championship, and second in a row, to earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. The event was originally scheduled for LaGrave Field in Fort Worth, Texas, but was moved due to concerns about player safety.[2][3][4]

The double elimination tournament features the top four teams from each division, leaving one team from each division out of the field.[5] Mississippi Valley State and Southern did not qualify for the Tournament.

Seeding and format

The top four finishers in each division will be seeded one through four, with the top seed from each division facing the fourth seed from the opposite division in the first round, and so on. The teams then play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament with a one-game final between the winners of each bracket. Alabama State and Arkansas–Pine Bluff won their respective divisions and earned the top seeds.[6][7][8]
