The 2011 NAIA baseball tournament was the 55th edition of the NAIA baseball championship. The 46-team tournament began on May 12 with Opening Round games across nine different sites and concluded with the 2011 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho that began on May 27 and ended on June 3. Concordia (CA) defeated Lubbock Christian (TX) 9–3 in the championship game for their 1st title in program history.[1][2]
The 46 participating teams were selected from all eligible NAIA teams with the World Series host receiving an automatic bid to the NAIA World Series. The remaining 45 teams participated in the Opening Round with 32 teams being awarded automatic bids as either champions and/or runners-up of their conferences, and 13 teams were selected at-large, which were determined by the final NAIA Baseball Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Teams were then placed into one of nine pre-determined Opening Round sites of five teams a piece, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. The winners of each of the Opening Round sites plus the World Series host team participated in the NAIA World Series.
This would be the first time that the NAIA started using the host city to identify Opening Round sites instead of using group numbers.
Tournament procedure
A total of 46 teams entered the tournament. As World Series host, Lewis–Clark State received an automatic bid into the NAIA World Series. 32 automatic bids were determined by either winning their conference's regular season championship, conference tournament, and/or conference tournament runner-up. The other 13 bids were at-large, with selections determined by the final NAIA Baseball Coaches' Top 25 Poll.[3]
Opening round hosts
On May 8, the NAIA announced the nine opening round host sites, which were played from May 12–16.[4]
