Rankings from Collegiate Baseball

The 1988 Southern Conference baseball tournament was held in Asheville, North Carolina, from April 27 through 29. The South Division's top seed Western Carolina won their fourth consecutive tournament and earned the Southern Conference's automatic bid to the 1988 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

The tournament used a double-elimination format.

Seeding

[edit]

The top two teams from each division based on regular season conference winning percentage participated in the tournament. The top seed from the North Division played the second seed from the South in the first round, and vice versa. The winners of the first round then played, while the losers played an elimination game. There were no ties in the standings, so no tiebreakers were necessary.[2]
