Rooney then scored deuces in the third and fifth ends, matched by a McEwen single point in the fourth end to lead by three points at the halfway point. McEwen, with Ryan Fry, Brent Laing and Jonathan Beuk got two back to open the second half, but a steal of one by Rooney in the 8th end re-opened the 3-point lead. McEwen got two back in the ninth end, though it was not enough as Rooney scored a point to win 8-6.
