From the KCAC, Bethany and Friends were automatic qualifiers, finishing no.1 and no.2 in the final KCAC baseball standings. KWU advanced by virtue of winning the KCAC Post-Season Tournament. In the MCAC, Bellevue qualified by winning the MCAC Regular Season Title. Park and York advanced by having the best records in the MCAC Tournament, which was not completed due to adverse weather conditions.

Play begins this afternoon at 1 p.m. when Bellevue and Kansas Wesleyan face each other in the opening game. Games were originally scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. this morning, but were pushed back two hours.
