The Artists took home bragging rights at the 71st Annual East Hampton Artists & Writers Charity Softball Game on Saturday, beating the Writers’ team 10 to 8. The Writers nearly staged a comeback, making the final out with the tying run at the plate. Held at East Hampton’s Herrick Park, players included Mike Lupica, Walter Isaacson, Nev Schulman, Chris Wragge and more, while former President Bill Clinton served as one of the game’s umpires.
