IRT 209 Battle of the Ages - Qualifying Results

Play is underway at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Ektelon 209 Battle of the Ages in Stockton, California, and there have been few surprises so far.

Kurzbard will play David Horn in the second round of qualifying for a spot in the Round of 16 on Friday against Jose Rojas.

Veteran lefty Javier Moreno was in the draw but defaulted his match, which granted Francisco Troncoso a spot in the Round of 16 against Rocky Carson.
