3rd Place: Southport Sun Sox (76-78) (17 GB)
Last Year: (80-74) (16 GB) (3rd Place)
Two Years Ago: (99-56) (1st Place)
Last Postseason: 2055 (3 Pro Cups - 2027, 2044, 2047) (12 Pennants)

HOF great OF Lorne Evans was a rookie star on the '27 Pro Cup champ... and copped a Pro Cup trophy in his first year as manager in '47... Evans inherited a fine contender from all-time great skipper Charlie Oscar and has kept the Sun Sox in the first division except for '51 (5th)... this season was not a good year for Southport... losing record for the first time in 15 years... they cut Turon's lead to 5 games entering August, but a 9-20 in August killed the season... team struggled offensively, but had reliable pitching... short on firepower... and average defensively... Evans is one of the all-time greats in the IPA with a .305 career average, 701 homers and 1836 RBIs... 12-time All-Star and a Gold Glover... he won 5 Golden Bats in his career.

Team Stats: .261 BA (14th), 641 runs (25th), 124 HR (23rd), 3.64 ERA (10th), .978 FA (average)

Top Players: Shafer and Wales are top-notched starters and Hill is an excellent closer... they need help on the hill and at the plate to contend with the likes of Turon… rookie Coats did very well this year and gave the only bonafide hitter in the lineup veteran 1B Zee Graham some much needed support... infielders Urban and Garcia are solid players.
