The 2011 America East Conference baseball tournament took place from May 25 through 27 at Joe Nathan Field in Stony Brook, New York. The top four regular season finishers of the league's six teams qualified for the double-elimination tournament. In the championship game, second-seeded Maine defeated fourth-seeded Albany, 10-1, to win its fifth tournament championship (its second under head coach Steve Trimper). As a result, Maine received the America East's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA tournament.[1][2][3][4]
