Tough fight with Scot.

The foursome of Splavec, Krupansky, Zelingr and Hron is playing just the 10th end against Scotland (Kyle Smith). After nine ends the score is 4 : 4, the opponent has the advantage. We're past the halfway point and there are two corner guards and one of our stones on the five at the center line. Scotland's stone is at the four and we ignore it and James will go behind the corner guard. The weight is five, six. We're on the tee line behind the guard, but it's way off center. The Scot goes to ours, but it's long. What do we do now? Maybe time out? The boys are gathered at the rings. Time out. After that, we play come around. Not a bad try. We got two in the circle. Kyle plays hit stay. Here we go. The Scots got it. They won 5-4. The boys played a great game against a big favorite. Thanks to them.
