The perennial league contender got off to a fast start against Walchuk Masonary (Tyler Krupski), scoring four in the first end. He didn’t let up there, scoring another in the second and stealing three more in the third, prompting Krupski to call it an early night as Froehlich took an 8-0 victory.
Froehlich is now 3-0 on the second, while Krupski fell to 0-3.
Froehlich would have company at the top of the standings, but the contest between BTN Accountants (Penny Barker, 2-0) and KMS Construction (Ben Gamble, 2-0) was postponed due to Barker playing in the Olympic Pre-Trials.
John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk, 2-1) kept pace with the leaders with a 9-3 win over KalTire (Dustin Woloschuk, 1-2). Wenarchuk took an end longer to get going compared to Froehlich, but had similar results: a four-spot in the second end, steal of two in the third and another steal in the fourth for a 7-1 lead. Woloschuk got two back in the fifth, but another Wenarchuk deuce would bring things to an early end.
Fonger Wealth Management (Nick Cornea, 1-2) picked up their first win in commanding fashion over EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 1-2). And sure enough, it was another early four-ender that did the damage, this one coming in the second end. A steal of two in the third made it 6-1, but Gunnis was able to get back into the game with three points over the next two ends to trail 6-4 at the break. Cornea finished things off right after, though, scoring three in the sixth for a 9-4 win.
The closest game on the night was between Motion-Golden Mobility (Lorraine Arguin, 1-2) and Pro-Tec Electric (Stan Barnsley, 1-2), with Arguin picking up a 7-5 victory for her first win. The two teams exchanged three enders to start the game, but an Arguin deuce in the fourth and steal in the fifth put her ahead 6-4 at the break. An exchange of single points the next two ends maintained Arguin’s two-point lead and Barnsley would run out of rocks in the eighth.
Original 16 Cash League action continues every Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre.
