The 2011 America East Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 25-27 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]
