The 2009 America East Conference baseball tournament took place from May 21 through 23 at Pete Sylvester Field in Endicott, New York. The top four regular season finishers of the league's seven teams qualified for the double-elimination tournament. In the championship game, first-seeded Binghamton defeated second-seeded Albany, 16–6, to win its first tournament championship. As a result, Binghamton received the America East's automatic bid to the 2009 NCAA tournament, the program's first.[1][2][3][4]
