LEWIS EDGES HOOVER FOR PRO CUP MVP
Southport's Barney Lewis has always been a solid and reliable centerfielder at the plate and in the field, but this year in the playoffs, he stepped his play up to the elite status and came away with the IPA Pro Cup Most Valuable Player Award. The 29-year-old Lewis edged out his teammate Billy Hoover for the honor. Wynnamac closer Johnny Mitchell came in third in the balloting conducted by The Islandian Times.

Lewis got a hit in all 17 postseason games and sparked the Sun Sox to the IPA crown with a 12 and 5 record. Not only did he bat .406 to lead the team, but he set a new IPA mark with 23 RBIs, breaking the old record of 22 established 40 years ago by Tony Blundell of the Red Bluff Red Sox, the Pro Cup champion of 2004. Lewis went 28-for-69 with 3 doubles, a triple, 5 home runs and scored 9 runs. He also stole 5 bases in 5 tries. Lewis is a modest .266 career hitter with 237 homers and 762 RBIs and has made the All-Star team on two occasions (2042 and 2043).

Billy Hoover, the Southport mound ace, was a worthy challenger with a 5-2 record in 7 starts with a sparkling 2.18 ERA and 6 complete games. The 29-year-old hurler wrapped up the series with a super performance in the decisive game seven, whipping the tough Sundowners 5-2 on a 4-hitter. Hoover has chalked up 20 wins for the last three seasons. Overall he is 121-82 in his 5-year IPA tenure with an excellent 2.83 ERA. Hoover was the 2043 Tycobbian MVP and Golden Arm winner.

Wynnamac's superb closer, Johnny Mitchell, was third in the MVP voting. He had a fantastic postseason appearing in 9 games, posting 15 scoreless innings with a 2-0 record and 3 saves. Mitchell, age 25, has been a standout reliever for the Sundowners for 7 years. He has compiled a 38-26 mark with 104 saves and a 2.34 ERA in 301 relief appearances.
