Rankings from Collegiate Baseball

The 2007 Southland Conference baseball tournament was held from May 23 through 26, 2007[2] to determine the champion of the Southland Conference in the sport of college baseball for the 2007 season. The event pitted the top six finishers from the conference's regular season in a double-elimination tournament held at H. Alvin Brown–C. C. Stroud Field, home field of Northwestern State in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Fourth-seeded Sam Houston State won their second overall championship, and what would be the first of three consecutive titles, and claimed the automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[3]

## Seeding and format

[edit]

The top six finishers from the regular season were seeded one through six, regardless of division. They played a double-elimination tournament. Despite the seeding, the two division champions were protected, so that third-seeded Lamar played fifth seeded McNeese State in the first round.
