NEW HAVEN, Conn. (August 14, 2019) -- Post University and Municipal Stadium in Waterbury, Conn., will once again serve as host for the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Baseball Championship, as announced on Wednesday by Commissioner Dan Mara. It will mark the fourth-consecutive year the school and facility will play host to the double-elimination portion of the championship.

The 2020 tournament will begin with the single-elimination first round on Saturday, May 2, at the sites of the highest seeds. The first-round match-ups are as follows:

South #4 Seed at North #1 Seed
South #3 Seed at North #2 Seed
North #4 Seed at South #1 Seed
North #3 Seed at South #2 Seed

The four first-round winners will advance to the double-elimination portion of the tournament from May 7-9 at Municipal Stadium in Waterbury. Day one on Thursday the 7th will feature three games, while day two on Friday the 8th will showcase two contests. The two finalists will advance to Championship Saturday on the 9th, with the winner earning the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament. Saturday will feature one game, but an "If Necessary" game is possible if the one-loss team wins the day's first game.

Wilmington University enters the 2020 season as the two-time defending conference champion, as the Wildcats defeated Felician University twice on Saturday in 2018, and then downed Dominican College in the 2019 final.

Post has been one of the league's better teams in the CACC under the guidance of Head Coach Ray Ricker. The Eagles won the CACC North Division Regular Season Championship in 2019.

Each conference member is eligible to put in a bid to host each of the 16 championship events contested in the CACC. Bids for the following year are collected and reviewed by the CACC Championships Committee and voted on by the league's Directors Council at the conference's year-end meeting each June.
