The Wildcats will look to win their fourth straight conference championship this season as in the past three years they have won two Conference Tournaments and one Regular Season Championship. Behind the plate for the Wildcats will be two-time Tournament MVP Mike Godwin who will be catching for fellow captain and All-Tournament outfielder and pitcher Joe Harbach. 

Dominican College has plans to win their second straight regular season championship with hopes of sweeping the regular season and conference tournament as they have not been able to complete this since the 2006 season. Justin Moore will be the senior leading the pitching staff in the 2012 campaign. Their counterpart Christopher Gonzalez will lead the Chargers after batting a .304 average in 22 games last year. 

The 2012 CACC Tournament will commence on Tuesday, May 8 with a pair of single-elimination games, with the No. 3 seed hosting No. 6 and the No. 4 seed welcoming the fifth seed. The winners of those two games, along with the top two seeds, will advance to a double-elimination tournament at Wilmington University on May 10-12.
