The 2009 West Coast Conference Baseball Championship Series was held on May 22 and 23, 2009[2] at San Diego's home stadium, Patterson Baseball Complex in Spokane, Washington, and pitted the top two finishers from the WCC regular season. The event determined the champion of the West Coast Conference for the 2009 NCAA Division I baseball season. Gonzaga won the series two games to none over Loyola Marymount and earned the league's automatic bid to the 2009 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[3] This would be the final postseason conference championship for the WCC until a four-team tournament was launched in 2013.
