SUN SOX SWEEP VIPERS, REPEAT AS IPA CHAMP, WIN RECORD-TYING 5TH PRO CUP TROPHY
The Southport Sun Sox went into the Pro Cup playoffs rated the third-best team in the postseason, but they proved their mettle and earned a record-tying 5th IPA Pro Cup title, equalling the record held by Rolling Hills... the prognosticators picked Rolling Hills and Claxton ahead of the Sun Sox, in spite of the fact that Southport was the defending champion... manager Lorne Evans led his club to his third Pro Cup trophy, winning it in 2047 and back-to-back the last two years.
Southport finished off the scrappy Valmara Vipers in a four-game sweep, but it was a lot tougher that it looked... the first three games were hotly-contested, settled by one run each time... the Sun Sox wrapped up the series on the road in Valmara, shutting out the Vipers 4-0 in game four at War Memorial Stadium.
