GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship will expand to include 12 teams and feature a new format beginning with the 2017 season, Commissioner John Swofford announced today.
The ACC Baseball Championship will increase from 10 to 12 teams, and will feature a pool play format, leading into a four-team, single-elimination bracket to determine the league champion. The event will be held May 23-28 at Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, Kentucky.
“ACC Baseball has never been stronger and the number of nationally prominent teams is remarkable,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “Expanding the format to include additional teams is in the best interest of our players, programs and conference.
