It will compete against eight other teams in two brackets that ends in a fight for first place.
"I think we're just excited to be a part of this tournament," senior pitcher Patrick Duester said. "It's the first ever. There's a lot of talent out there, so we are not just gonna go out there and play, but we're looking to win."
Among the competition this year is Nebraska, Kentucky and co-hosts San Diego State and University of San Diego. The inaugural tournament will feature seven NCAA regional teams.
Tulane, San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara all qualified in 2015, and Kentucky, Bryant, SDSU and Nebraska all qualified in 2014.
