2013 America East Conference baseball tournament

The 2013 America East Conference baseball tournament was held from May 22 through 26. The top four regular season finishers of the league's six teams met in the double-elimination tournament held at Edward A. LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts.[2] This is the first year that the event was held at a pre-determined neutral site since 2001. UMass Lowell, which would join the conference following the season and was a tenant of the park, served as the host of the tournament.[3] Second-seeded Binghamton defeated first-seeded Maine in the championship game, which was played at Rhode Island's Bill Beck Field due to scheduling issues.[4]
