  • The 1968 NCAA College Division baseball tournament was the first edition of the NCAA College Division baseball tournament, now known as the NCAA Division II baseball tournament. The College Division had previously separated from the University Division in 1957. The 16-team tournament determined the champion of the 1968 season. The Chapman Panthers won the championship by defeating the Delta State Statesmen.[1]

    Format[edit]

    Sixteen teams were selected to participate, divided into four regions of four teams each. Each region completed a double-elimination round, with the winners advancing to the finals. The finals, made up of the four regional champions, also competed in a double-elimination format.
