230.45 in 69 games. Lyle
Schaefer was second on the
average list at 222.13 in 69

201.80—12.80), Brian Hacker

with 56.
There were 416 series
in the 600s, led by Hassan

in the 700s, the same as the
previous season. Radner led
the way this season with nine.
FIRST HALF VS.
SECOND HALF
Klinger said comparisons of
the first and second halves
of the season are some of his
favorite statistics. Here’s what
he discovered this season:
Cohen averaged 142 in the
first half and 170 in the sec-
ond half, a league-best 28-pin
improvement, and finished
with a 156 average. Schaefer
averaged 212 in the first half
and a spectacular 229 in the
second half, a 17-pin improve-
ment, and finished with a 222
average.
Steve Achtman and Rob
Greenfield were models of
consistency in the two halves.
Achtman averaged 156.1 in
the first half and 156.3 in the
second half and finished with
a 156 average. Greenfield aver-
aged 208.7 in the first half and
208.9 in the second half and
finished with a 208 average.
Teammates Shanbaum
and Horwitz each had a
league-best 24 match points.
Shanbaum was 48-24 in 72
games and Horwitz was 46.5-
22.5 in 69 games. It was the
first time teammates shared
the top spot in match points.
There are three annual
in-house tournaments held
during the league season.
Schaefer won the Mark
Klinger Over-Average
Tournament. David
Hershkovic won the end-of-
season over-average tourna-
ment and Kevin Elbinger won
the end-of-season bracket
tournament, held simultane-
ously over three weeks along
with the playoffs.
Elbinger edged Jerry
Eisenberg 224-194 in the
bracket tournament champi-
onship match. Elbinger beat
Andy Rosenfeld 250-202 and
Eisenberg beat Herskovic 209-
179 in the bracket semifinals.
League playoff champion
Uncle Miltie also won the
International B’nai B’rith
Bowling Association’s vir-
tual national tournament,
held simultaneously with the
league season. Eric Foreman,
Rosenfeld, Cohen and
Elbinger were on the Uncle
Miltie team.
The Aristocrats finished
fourth in the national tourna-
ment. Brian and Noah Cohen,
Kenny Weiss and Radner were
on that team.
One important statistic
reported by Klinger didn’t
involve pins. League bowlers,
in an effort spearheaded by
Ron Malach, donated more
than $1,700 to the Israel
Emergency Fund and Global
Israel Alliance.
