The 2002 America East Conference baseball tournament was held from May 23 through 25 at Mahaney Diamond in Orono, Maine. The top four regular season finishers of the league's seven teams qualified for the double-elimination tournament. In the championship game, first-seeded Maine defeated third-seeded Northeastern, 7-5, to win its second tournament championship (its first under head coach Paul Kostacopoulos). As a result, Maine received the America East's automatic bid to the 2002 NCAA tournament.[1][2][3][4]
