Baseball tournament, New Jersey, U.S.

The 1998 Northeast Conference baseball tournament began on May 11 and ended on May 12, 1998, at Cochrane Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey. The league's top four teams competed in the single elimination tournament. Rain severely impacted the event, forcing both a venue change and a format change. The tournament was originally intended to be a double-elimination tournament at Waterfront Park in Trenton, New Jersey.[1] Second-seeded Monmouth won their first tournament championship, then won the NCAA play-in series against Navy to advance to the 1998 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[2]
