Crowther into semis at IRT Stockton Pro-Am

Jose Rojas got his first tournament win on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) earlier this season, but he'll have to wait for his first tournament win at his home club as he fell to Chris Crowther in the quarter finals of the Stockton Pro/Am in Stockton, California, 6-11, 11-7, 11-3, 11-7. Crowther will play in the semi-finals for the first time since January, when he made the semis in New York City.

Top seed and IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk will be Crowther's opponent in the semi-finals on Saturday, as Waselenchuk beat Tony Carson, 11-0, 11-3, 11-1. In two matches Friday, Waselenchuk gave up 8 points in total. Eight points! That's making a statement.

On the other side of the draw, it will be IRT #2 Rocky Carson versus Alvaro Beltran, as Beltran upset 3rd seed Ben Croft in the quarters, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8, 12-10. Carson defeated Shane Vanderson in three straight games, 11-4, 11-8, 15-13.
