Unlike a certain other March sporting event, everything has gone exactly according to the seedings at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Party With the Pros Tournament in St Louis, Missouri. Thus, it'll be #1 Kane Waselenchuk versus #4 Jose Rojas in one semi-final on Saturday with #2 Rocky Carson against #3 Ben Croft in the other.
Waselenchuk and Carson got to the semis with straight game wins in the quarter-finals. Waselenchuk beat Shane Vanderson, 11-4, 11-7, 11-0, and Carson defeated Andy Hawthorne, 11-0, 11-4, 11-7.
Croft needed four games to see off Chris Crowther, winning 9-1, 12-10, 11-7, 11-1, and Rojas had the most difficulty, as he needed five games to defeat Alvaro Beltran, who won the first two games only to lose in five, 4-11, 6-11, 11-8, 11-6, 11-8.
The IRT Network will web-cast the semi-finals beginning at 10:30 AM CDT Saturday. Note that the final will be Saturday night at 6:30 CDT rather than Sunday.
