2nd Place: Arroyo Grande Suns (86-68) (1 GB)
Outlook: a heartbreaking year for the Suns... the last pennant was almost 50 years ago... they sure looked like the winners unless they slumped in the last weeks of the season... Arroyo Grande had a chance to force a playoff, but lost the last day of the regular season... the Suns came up one game short of the playoffs... they have only graced the postseason four times in the team's history with no Pro Cups to show for their feeble play.
However, this was a very exciting season... the Suns had dynamite power in their batting order... the starting lineup boasted hitters that hit at least 18 out of the park with four of them having 30 or more... Arroyo Grande easily outhomered everybody in the Islandian Pro Alliance with 252 roundtrippers this season... that was the key to the standout season... the pitching was fairly good with five capable and consistent starters, but the bullpen was terrible... they were very good defensively, too.
