TRAFFORD, Pa. — After posting a 17-3 record in league play during the regular season, Washington & Jefferson College has earned the top seed and hosting rights for this week’s Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Baseball Tournament. The league’s four-team, double-elimination championship tournament will be held Thursday-Saturday, May 11-13 at Ross Memorial Park in Washington, Pa. The Tournament will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 11, with top-seed W&J (28-12, 17-3 PAC) taking on fourth-seed Westminster College (20-18, 13-7 PAC) in Game A. At 4 p.m. in Game B, second-seeded Grove City College (29-9, 16-4 PAC) will face No. 3 Saint Vincent College (20-16, 13-7 PAC). Both of Thursday’s matchups are rematches from day one of the 2022 PAC Tournament. The tournament will continue through Saturday’s championship game(s). This is W&J’s sixth-straight tournament serving as the league’s championship tournament host. The Presidents, led by 21st-year head coach Jeff Mountain, are making their 14th-straight tournament appearance.
