The Weyburn Junior PAR Contracting Athletics are provincial champions. They captured the title Sunday evening in Regina, beating the Saskatoon Hoppers 8-7.

The Athletics got out to an early 4-0 lead, but Saskatoon closed the gap to 4-2. Weyburn would then add four runs in the sixth inning to make it 8-2. In the seventh, the Hoppers rallied to make it close, but the Athletics held on for the victory.

Carver Krafchuk earned the win on the mound. The team also featured two multi-sport athletes, with Donovan Lumb and Ty Brown from the Weyburn Red Wings helping the Athletics to the victory.

The win gives the Athletics a berth in the Junior Western National Championships in Brandon in August.
