2016 IRT Coast to Coast California Open Preliminary Matches

The qualifying rounds at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Coast to Coast California Open Thursday in Reseda, California produced few surprises. In young guns showdown, Andree Parrilla defeated Jose Diaz, 11-8, 11-7, 11-5, which we thought would be a good match, and are a bit surprised that it was only three games. Parrilla will play IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk in the Round of 16 on Friday.

Former top 5 player Chris Crowther did make it to the 16s by beating Matthew Majxner, 11-4, 13-11, 11-2, so he'll play IRT #4 Alvaro Beltran Friday.

Finally, David Horn battled Charlie Pratt, and came out on top, 11-9, 11-5, 6-11, 11-9, which puts Horn into the 16s against IRT #3 Daniel De La Rosa.

The IRT Round of 16 will be streamed live Friday from 11 AM via the IRT Network with the quarterfinals Friday afternoon from 4 PM on. Also, the semi-finals will be 11 AM and Noon Saturday with the final Saturday night at 7:00 PM. All times Pacific.
