Rankings from Coaches' Poll

The 2011 Big South Conference baseball tournament was the postseason baseball tournament for the Big South Conference, held from May 24 through 28, 2011, at Gray–Minor Stadium on the campus of the Virginia Military Institute. The top eight regular season finishers of the ten eligible teams met in the double-elimination tournament. Presbyterian was not eligible for postseason play in any sport until the 2012–2013 academic year due to its transition to Division I. Top seeded Coastal Carolina won their twelfth championship and earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[2]
