*Ineligible for postseason play due to Division I transition

The 2015 Southland Conference Baseball Tournament was held from May 20–23. The top eight regular season finishers of the league's ten teams met in the double-elimination tournament held at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas. The event returned to Sugar Land as part of a two season contract after one season on campus. The winner of the tournament, Houston Baptist, earns the conference's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word are ineligible for postseason play as they transition from Division II.[2][3]

Seeding and format

The top eight finishers from the regular season, not including Abilene Christian or Incarnate Word, were seeded one through eight. Seeding for the 2015 tournament was based on the order of finish in conference regular season play. No tie-breakers were needed, and teams ineligible for the 2015 tournament did not finish in the top eight.[4] The teams played a two bracket, double–elimination tournament, with the winner of each bracket meeting in a single championship final.
