The tournament returned to the double-elimination format used prior to the two year experiment with pool play in 2011 and 2012. Florida Atlantic won their first tournament championship and earned the Sun Belt Conference's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. Florida Atlantic joined the conference in 2006, and left for Conference USA after the 2013 season.[2][3][4][5][6]
