1996 North Atlantic Conference Baseball Tournament


The 1996 North Atlantic Conference Baseball Tournament was held at Mahaney Diamond in Orono, Maine. The top six regular season finishers of the league's nine teams qualified for the double-elimination tournament. In the championship game, first-seeded Delaware defeated third-seeded Drexel, 12-2, to win its second tournament championship. As a result, Delaware received the North Atlantic's automatic bid to the 1996 NCAA Tournament.

Seeding

The top six finishers from the regular season were seeded one through six based on conference winning percentage only. They then played in a double-elimination format. In the first round, the one and six seeds were matched up in the first game, the two and five seeds in the second, and the three and four seeds in the third.
