Seventh End

Sweden holds the hammer in the seventh end, trailing by one. The US would like to force Sweden to score one here, so the US can continue to hold the hammer in the even ends.

Update: Hamilton makes a poor first shot as the US second. We’ll see if Sweden can turn it into multiple points.

Update: Hamilton makes up for it with his second shot. He was trying to hit and roll to the center, and winds up doing that and knocking out the second Swedish stone. Great shot.

Update: Sweden makes a mistake, hitting a guard. The US draws to the button and has a US and Swedish stone guarding.

Update: Eridsson peals the guards away, but the US still lies three.

Update: George tries to set up a guard for the US, and doesn’t quite get it as far center as he would have liked.

Update: Eridsson freezes to the US stone on the button, and the US lies one with two more stones in the house.

Update: Shuster puts a stone in the front of the house on the T-line.

Update: Edin throws his first stone through the house.

Update: Shuster sets up another guard.

Update: Edin makes a nice combination shot to knock the US stone off the button, but the Swedes score just one. The game in tied at five after seven ends.
