Team Ruohonen vs. Team Persinger

Needing a win over Team Persinger to have a chance at the playoffs, Team Ruohonen got it done with a 7-6 triumph in 10 ends. The drama came late as Rouhonen saw his 6-3 lead evaporate with a three-point ninth end for Persinger. With hammer in hand for the 10th, though, Rouhonen managed the crucial go-ahead point.

Unfortunately for Rouhonen, Team Dropkin's 6-3 victory over Team Dunnam proved decisive in clinching second place for Dropkin and third for Rouhonen at the conclusion of the double round-robin.

The third matchup between 8-1 Team Shuster and 0-9 Team Brundidge went according to script, with Team Shuster closing out round-robin play with a 11-4 in just six ends.
