Équipe Québec captured the silver medal at the 2025 Senior Men’s Canadian Baseball Championship in Regina, Saskatchewan, falling 8–1 to New Brunswick in the gold-medal final on August 24, 2025.
Championship Final Turning Points
New Brunswick seized control early in the contest, plating three runs in the opening frame and adding three more in the third inning to build a commanding advantage. New Brunswick hitters Josh Myers and Cole MacLaren each drove in runs with singles in the first. In the third inning, Nick MacPhail hit a solo home run, followed later by a two-run single from Simon Dubois. Myers capped the offensive output with a two-run homer in the sixth inning.
Quebec’s lone run materialized in the seventh inning when Josué Peley hit a single that allowed teammate Raphaël Gladu to cross the plate. On the mound, New Brunswick pitcher Jordan Stevenson threw a complete game, limiting the Quebec lineup to just three hits. For Quebec, starting pitcher Conor Angel issued three walks and three earned runs before making way for Félix Côté.
Overcoming Travel Adversity in Regina
The silver-medal finish capped a turbulent week for the Quebec delegation, whose arrival in Saskatchewan had been thrown into jeopardy prior to the tournament. The team’s participation was initially compromised on Tuesday, August 19, when a scheduled Montreal-To-Toronto flight was canceled, disrupting their travel plans westward.
Despite the logistical hurdles upon departure, the squad battled through the tournament field to reach the championship game.
Next Steps and Future Competition
With the 2025 national tournament concluded in Regina, players return to their respective regional leagues, including the Ligue de baseball majeur du Québec, to prepare for the upcoming domestic calendar.
