TORONTO — The farewell tour for Mike McEwen’s team got off to a good start in the Princess Auto Players’ Championship.
McEwen hit to score three points in the first and threaded the needle through the port to tap and count another trey in the fourth end to lead 6-2 at the break. Facing two counters in the fifth, Jacobs was able to hit one but couldn’t roll over to nudge the other and conceded a single steal to fall behind by five.
Elsewhere in the evening draw, Edmonton’s Team Brendan Bottcher scored three in the third and stole one in the fourth during a 7-2 victory over Saskatoon’s Team Colton Flasch.
