Kansas City, Mo. – The MIAA formally announced Thursday that Lindenwood University will serve as the host for the 2016 MIAA Baseball Tournament.

The Tournament will be played at the Lou Brock Sports Complex in St. Charles, Mo. The complex has hosted NCAA Regional Tournament games as well as hosting the 2009 NAIA National Championship opening round.

“Our coaches have requested that our post-season tournament return to campus sites and that the tournament be played in the format adopted,” said MIAA Commissioner Dr. Bob Boerigter. “We are pleased that Lindenwood University has agreed to host the 2016 event. Their quality facilities should provide a significant venue for the MIAA to conduct this competitive and exciting championship.”

“We are excited about hosting the 2016 MIAA Baseball Tournament.  We feel like we have a great venue in the Lou Brock Complex,” said Lindenwood Athletic Director John Creer. “I think this will be a big boost for our baseball program and the St. Charles community.  It will definitely fill up some hotel beds and provide restaurants with some business.  It will also be an opportunity for Lindenwood University to show off our beautiful campus and the historic downtown St. Charles.  This will also be motivation for our team to make sure we are playing well this coming season and get to the conference tournament, and give our students, parents, and fans an opportunity to watch them play in the tournament.”

The MIAA baseball tournament is scheduled for May 12-15 with a four-day eight-team double elimination tournament.
