Peterborough earned a 2-0 victory over the Mississauga Twins in the semifinal before defeating the Scarborough Stingers 24-7 in the championship game to claim the tournament title.

The Steve Terry Classic, held in Peterborough from July 23 to 26, brought teams from across Ontario together for a weekend of youth baseball while also supporting local youth mental health initiatives through the PRHC Foundation.

Peterborough teams were well represented throughout the tournament, with local teams participating ranging from 8U A up to 11U AA. The Peterborough 11U AA Tigers also reached their championship game, finishing as runners-up after a hard-fought loss to Northumberland in the final.

The championship win capped off a memorable first edition of the Steve Terry Classic, with the host association celebrating both a successful tournament and a title for its 9U AAA Tigers.
