IRT 2015 Long Beach Open - Round of 16

Big upset at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Long Beach Open in Long Beach, California Friday, as the team of Scott Davis and Tom Durham, seeded 12th, defeated 5th seeds Jose Diaz and Marco Rojas, 15-13, 2-15, 11-7. This is a doubles only event.

The win puts Davis and Durham into the quarterfinals against 4th seeds Jansen Allen and Charlie Pratt on Friday.

The other first round matches went according to the seeding and were won in two straight games by comfortable margins.

Kudos to Jason Mannino and John Scott, who played their match versus Jake Bredenbeck and Sebastian Franco, as a fundraiser for the IRT Network will have all of the quarterfinal action beginning Friday at 4 PM PST. The semi-finals and final will both be on Saturday, with the former are 10 and 11 AM and the latter at 5 PM.
