COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – It took until the final out of the regular season, but the six-team field for the 2026 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Baseball Championship tournament is set, with regular-season champion and No. 1 seed Colorado Mesa University set to host the event beginning Wednesday on The Diamond at Hamilton Ballpark in Grand Junction.

Colorado Mesa (45-4, 31-1 RMAC) saw its chance at an unbeaten RMAC slate end on Friday in the first game of its series against Metropolitan State University of Denver. Still, the Mavericks had the regular-season title locked up the week prior and the No. 1 seed in the tournament. They will face Regis University (19-30-1, 10-21-1 RMAC) which need a win in the regular-season finale to clinch the final spot in the tournament field. Colorado Mesa and Regis will play the final game on Wednesday's opening day – a 7 p.m. first pitch. 

No. 2 seed MSU Denver (36-14, 24-8 RMAC) will face No. 5 seed Colorado School of Mines (18-31, 14-18 RMAC) in the 11 a.m., Wednesday tournament opener. The Roadrunners swept the RMAC series against the Orediggers back in mid-March.

No. 3 seed UCCS (32-17-1, 21-10-1 RMAC) and No. 4 seed Colorado State University Pueblo (26-24, 18-14 RMAC) are set to start at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. It will be the fifth consecutive game between the Mountain Lions and ThunderWolves after they split a four-game RMAC series to end the regular season. 

Every game of the 2026 RMAC Baseball Championship tournament can be seen on the RMAC Network.  Annual and Monthly subscribers have every tournament game included in their package. Fans can purchase the tournament for $15 per day or purchase a monthly subscription.
