y Invited to the NCAA tournament

The 2015 America East Conference baseball tournament was held from May 21 through 23. The top four regular season finishers of the league's six eligible teams met in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Edward A. LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, the home park of UMass Lowell.[2][3] Stony Brook claimed their fifth tournament championship and the Conference's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[4]

Seeding and format

The top four finishers from the regular season were seeded one through four based on conference winning percentage only. The teams played a double-elimination tournament. UMass Lowell, despite hosting the event, was not eligible to participate as it transitions from Division II. The River Hawks are expected to complete this transition and be eligible for championships in the 2017–18 academic year.[5]
