It’ll be current #1 versus former #1 in the final of the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) 2024 McNamara Minnesota Racquetball Hall of Fame tournament in Minneapolis on Sunday, when Conrrado Moscoso, current IRT #1, faces former #1 Kane Waselenchuk.
Moscoso advanced to the final by beating 4th seed Andree Parrilla in two straight games, 15-10, 15-11, on Saturday. Waselenchuk needed three games to defeat IRT #2 Rodrigo Montoya, 15-14, 7-15, 11-2. He was down 14-11 in game one, but managed to come back and take it, which was crucial to Waselenchuk’s victory.
Waselenchuk sealed the win in spectacular fashion, as he hit a great serve that he thought was an ace, but a desperation dive by Montoya kept the ball in play. Yet Waselenchuk was able to recover and lunged out to re-kill the ball into the front right corner. He turned and fistpumped from his knees.
Despite that loss, Montoya will play in a final on Sunday, as he and Kurtis Cullen defeated Kadim Carrasco and Moscoso, 15-7, 15-10, in one of the doubles semi-finals. In the other, Parrilla and Adam Manilla beat Alan Natera and Andrés Acuña, 15-8, 15-2, so they’ll play Montoya and Cullen in the doubles final Sunday.
The finals are on Sunday with singles at 11 AM and doubles at noon. You can see them via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. All times Central.
