2008 Midwest Collegiate Conference Tournament

From BR Bullpen

The 2008 Midwest Collegiate Conference baseball tournament was held May 1-2 at Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo, IA. The format for the tournament was different than most, as the top 2 teams in the conference (#1 St. Ambrose University and #2 William Penn University) had already secured automatic bids to the 2008 NAIA Region VII tournament. Thefore the rest of the conference competed in a single elimination tournament for a 3rd bid to the NAIA postseason. #5 Iowa Wesleyan College defeated #3 Grand View University for the automatic bid.
