Meachem, Kelly Schafer, and Chris and Teejay Haichert opened with four in the first end and then stole nine points over the next three ends, including a steal of six in the fourth to take an 13-0 lead at the break.

Kriss Vonda and Team Latvia got on the board with one in the fifth, but the handshakes came out after Meachem added six more in the sixth end.
