Finland, with only 1 win so far, proved a tough nut crack in the late game and after 3 ends they led Scotland 3-1. However, Eve Muirhead drew the shot with the last stone of the game to give Scotland a 6-5 win.
After that fright, Scotland shone against Russia right from the start, winning 7-1 after 7 ends, when Russia conceded after managing to score a shot.
In the afternoon game, Scotland again started really well and led Switzerland 5-1 after 4 ends. Then, for some unknown reason, the Scots let Switzerland win 4 ends in a row to fall 5-6 behind coming into the last end. Eve Muirhead managed to stop the rot with a single shot to take the game into an extra end, but with the Swiss having last stone, the Scots lost out 6-7.
The upshot is that Scotland are still tied for 1st place with 7 wins out of 9, along with Switzerland who have 7 wins out of 8. Canada and Japan both have 6 wins out of 8 and Russia are in 5th place with 5 wins out of 8. As a consolation to Scotland, Switzerland play Russia in tonight's late game, so one of them will lose some ground.
