The 1985 Kentville Wildcats Baseball Team was the first Nova Scotia senior baseball team to win a National Championship when they hosted the tournament in their own community in August 1985. With 13 local players on the roster, the team rallied from a 6-0 deficit with 2 outs in the eighth inning against powerhouse Ontario to win the final, 7-6, in front of 4,500 hometown fans. It is possibly one of the greatest comeback stories in Nova Scotia Sport history.

The tournament MVP was shared by all the members of the team. Kevin Macleod, Sandy VanBlarcom and George MacLean were Tournament All-Stars, and Ian Mosher was the MVP of the championship game.

It should be noted that relief pitcher Bob Oakley had to pitch out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the ninth.
