For BTN Chartered Accountants (Penny Barker), that meant improving their unbeaten record to 5-0 with a 6-4 victory over KalTire (Dustin Woloschuk, 2-4) -- but not without having to put in a bit of work.
Woloschuk scored two in the first and stole another an end later for a quick 3-0 lead, but Barker got all of that back the next frame with a three-spot of her own. Barker then stole one in the fifth and another in the sixth to go up by a pair, and the two teams exchanged single points over the final two ends.
Matt Froehlich (5-1) kept pace with a comfortable 7-2 win over John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk, 3-3). Froehlich stole three in the second to take a 4-0 lead and added a deuce in the fourth to go ahead 6-1. Each team picked up a single point the next two ends before shaking hands early.
EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 1-5) got off to a solid start with a 3-1 lead against Pro-Tec Electric (Stan Barnsley, 3-3) through four ends, but wouldn’t be able to make it stick. After scoring one in the fifth, Barnsley would add steals of two the next two ends to take a 6-3 edge and run Gunnis out of rocks in the eighth.
In league action from Nov. 10, Froehlich came away with a 7-6 extra end victory over Fonger Wealth Management (Nick Cornea, 1-4) in the closest game of the night.
Cornea carried a 4-3 lead through five ends, but Froehlich scored one in the sixth and stole two more in the seventh to take a 6-4 lead. Cornea used the hammer to get his deuce in the eighth, though, sending the contest into the extra end.
Barker remained undefeated with an 8-2 win over Wenarchuk, scoring deuces in the first two ends and building a 7-1 lead through four. Each team scored singles the next two ends before shaking hands.
Barnsley had the shortest night of the bunch in a 7-1 win over Walchuk Masonry (Tyler Krupski, 1-4). Barnsley built a 4-0 lead in the first two ends, surrendered one in the third and added three more in the fourth, bringing the contest to an early end.
Woloschuk got off to a fast start with single points in the first three ends against Gunnis, but would see that lead evaporate all at once when Gunnis put up a three spot in the fourth. Deuces in the fifth and sixth would give Woloschuk command of the game and he’d take a 7-4 win.
KMS Construction (Ben Gamble, 4-0) started fast and ended with a flurry against Motion-Golden Mobility (Lorraine Arguin, 1-4), scoring three in the first and sixth ends on his way to an 8-4 win. Gamble led 5-1 through four when Arguin came back with three in the fifth, but his final three-spot would bring the contest to an early end.
Original 16 Cash League action continues every Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre.
