5th Place (tied): Arroyo Grande Suns (66-88) (27 GB)
Last Year: (84-70) (12 GB) (2nd Place)
Two Years Ago: (89-65) (9.5 GB) (3rd Place)
Last Postseason: 2024 (No Pro Cups) (4 Pennants)

Manager Eduardo Villanueva did fine his first three seasons, but the bottom fell out this year as the good pitching went into the pits and the team tumbled from second place to fifth in the TU South standings... on the hill Tuthill and Steed had terrible seasons and slugger star Ruben Jones (.250 BA/25 HR/48 RBI/53 R) was lost to injury in July... basically the Suns didn't hit, didn't pitch and didn't do well.

Team Stats: .231 BA (32nd), 595 runs (30th), 159 HR (13th-tied), 4.16 ERA (24th), .978 FA (average)

Top Players: Arroyo Grande still has solid starters in Beau McCloud and Nap Vickerson... plus a good reliever in Kurt Wolf... they just need Steed and Tuthill to regain the form of previous seasons... homers knocked them out of the park this year... no one hit in the lineup this year except rookie LF Chris Hardcastle with 31 roundtrippers and 80 RBIs, but he batted only .221... 2B Noel Folger topped the team with just a .261 BA... vet star 3B Russell Taylor also had an unproductive year at age 34.
