2nd Place: Summerland Sunsets (86-68) (10 GB)
Last Pennant: 2063
Pro Cups: None
The Sunsets have been a steady challenger in the Tycobbian South pennant races the last 8 seasons... they wound up third in '62 (13 GB)... won the division flag in '63... and were tied for second in '64 (7 GB)... lack of offense always hampered them, especially when the Sunsets get to the playoffs... this year Summerland finally had some firepower in its lineup and it paid off... they ran a good race for about half the season, but then a superior Southport pulled away from them and everyone else and left them all drowning in their wake... the Sunsets had good home-run power with 157 roundtrippers, scored well with 680 runs on the scoreboard, were just fair with a .253 BA, but rock-solid on the mound with a 3.29 team ERA... plus they had standout defense with a .981 FA... the future is looking good for Summerland... they have rarely made the postseason playoffs... just 5 appearances... with no Pro Cups... never have come close... all the Sunsets need is one more reliable threat in their batting order.
