Super Eight (baseball)
The Super Eight is the common name of the high school baseball tournament that determines the state champion of Massachusetts. The tournament is technically called the Division 1A tournament.
Both public and private high schools from the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association compete in this tournament. The Independent School League does not compete in the MIAA and has its own league and playoff tournament.
The format of the Super Eight Tournament is a double-elimination bracket of eight teams. The tournament is based after the older MIAA Super Eight Hockey Tournament to crown a supreme state champion.
All games for the Super Eight Tournament are 9 innings long rather than the typical 7 innings for high school games.
