MIAA Division IA Baseball Championship
The Super Eight is the common name of an annual high school baseball tournament held in Brockton, Massachusetts that takes place in June each year. A selection committee chooses the top eight public and private high schools from the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to compete in this tournament. The tournament is technically called the MIAA Division IA Baseball Championship. The tournament is a double-elimination bracket of eight teams.
History
Since 2014, the Super Eight has been held in Brockton, Massachusetts at Campanelli Stadium, home to the Brockton Rox. However, the first round of games are held at the higher seed's home field. The tournament is based after the older Super Eight Hockey Tournament to crown a supreme state champion. All games for the Super Eight Tournament are 9 innings, rather than the typical 7 innings for high school games.Format history and changes
