Cliff Swain is turning back the clock at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) event named after his father: the Red Swain Shootout in Davison, Michigan, where he defeated IRT #1 Jose Rojas in four games in the Round of 16, 11-6, 11-7, 7-11, 11-3.
Swain, a former IRT #1 player, will play another Rojas in the quarter finals later on Friday, as Jose's younger brother Marco defeated Jose Diaz, 11-1, 12-14, 11-2, 11-8, in the 16s.
There were no other upsets in the Round of 16, as other top seeds - Rocky Carson, Alvaro Beltran and Ben Croft - got through to the quarter finals without incident, although Beltran did drop a game against Marcelo Zelada, winning in four 11-4, 9-11, 11-2, 11-6. Both Carson and Croft won in three straight.
Matches can be viewed over the web via the IRT Network.
