Only three teams remain undefeated after action Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre: BTN Accountants, Matt Froehlich and Easy Care Living, with all improving to 3-0.
BTN (Danielle Sicinski) had one of the cleanest showings on the night, as they rolled to a 6-0 victory over Pro-Tec Electric (Stan Barnsley, 2-1) in a battle of undefeateds. Sicinski scored one in the first and then stole the rest of the way, scoring three in the second and tacking on single points in third and fourth to bring things to an early end.
Froehlich also went on a steal tear against Here for the Beer (Patrick Ackerman, 0-3), scoring three in the first, stealing three more in the second and another deuce in the third for a quick 8-0 lead. They’d tack on one more in fourth before Ackerman got on the board the next end, but that would bring things to a 9-1 final.
Easy Care Living (Lorraine Arguin) took a default win over KalTire (Rob Sokchoff, 1-2).
Walchuk Masonary (Tyler Krupski, 1-2) handed KMS (Ben Gamble, 2-1) their first loss of the season in a battle of Sask Curling Tour teammates — Krupski plays second on Gamble’s Regina Highland foursome. And once again, a string of steals was the key: Gamble picked up one in the first, but saw Krupski reply with two in the second end, single points in the third and fourth and another three in the fifth. Gamble got one back in the sixth and stole two of his own the next end, but would run out of rocks and take the 7-4 loss.
John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk, 2-1) kept pace with the leaders with a 6-5 win over EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 0-3). Gunnis held a 2-1 lead after three ends, but Wenarchuk put up a five-spot in the fourth for a 6-2 edge. Gunnis wouldn’t go quietly, though, scoring points in each of the final three ends but falling just short.
Protec Video (Wade Gray, 2-1) also moved into the four-team logjam in fourth place after taking a 6-2 win over Paws N Play (Donna Ackerman, 3-0). Gray led 3-0 through three ends and after Ackerman got one back in the fourth, tacked on a deuce in the fifth for a 5-1 edge. The two rinks would exchange single points the next two ends before Ackerman ran out of rocks in the eighth.
League action continues every Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre.
