"When she let it go ... I thought, 'OK we've got a chance. This has to curl,' and if it had a curled a little more, we win, because she would have still rolled out, and ours would have rolled in a little farther, but that's the way it is.Einarson's steal of one in the second end, when Black missed a difficult double raise to score three, proved to be pivotal in the game.
The Halifax Curling Club foursome was without Baxter on Sunday. The team wrote in a social media post that Baxter's father Blair died Saturday."Just tried to stay mindful and present in myself and just know I get to go curling and how fun is that?" said a tearful Black.Black's team ranked fourth among women's teams in the Canadian Team Ranking System heading into Thunder Bay.
