#870 Summer Tourney - Round 7

Open Section

Mark Kernighan's amazing save against Greg Tomkovich was the highlight of the week but I sneaked ahead by overcoming another weak opening versus Lou Sturniolo.

Geoff McAuliffe and Bert Shiffman won to join Greg in 3rd place. Ian Mangion, Braeden Reinoso and Pat Mazzillo notched "W"s, as well.
