brief day when he fell behind, he led the crowd all the way.</span></span></font></span><span style="font-style: normal"><span style="font-weight: 400">
A spectacular performance from one of our veterans. Four of us had
identical picks - George Rosevally, Michael Arvold, Mike Defede and Ryan
Milligan. This group managed to finish second, so we had to go to the
winning country's score as the tiebreaker. All estimates were high, so
Michael Arvold took second with the lowest estimate, and Mike Defede third
with the next lowest. This was Joe's record-setting second Gold Medal in
this pool (2018). It allowed Joe to move up from 10th to 9th on the
all-time leaderboard, passing Larry J. Waldman. This was Michael Arvold's
first award in this pool. For Mike Defede, this was his second consecutive
medal in this pool, tying Pam Wood, Ryan Milligan and George Rosevally, and a

22 contestants selected six different teams
to win the championship. You guessed
it - the two teams (Atlanta and Houston)
that received no votes wound up against each
other in the World Series. Hence our
leaders only have 18 out of a possible 24
total points. Brent Koplitz and Pam
Wood tied at 18. Both had a correct
six game World Series, and both had a two
run winning margin in the final game (it was
actually seven). So it came down to
hits in the final game, and Brent's 15 was
closer to the actual 13 than Pam's 16.
That gave Brent the Gold and Pam the Silver.
Atlanta's win in the series gave the Bronze
to Billy Waldman, against Len Bergstrom who
