2016 Raising Some Racquet for Kids - Qualifying results

Andy Hawthorne’s still got it, as evidenced by his win over Matthew Majxner Thursday at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Raising Some Racquet for Kids tournament in Huber Heights, Ohio. A former top 10 ranked IRT player, Hawthorne, an Ohio resident, came back from two games down to defeat the IRT's 14th ranked Majxner, 6-11, 6-11, 11-4, 11-4, 11-7. He’ll play Jose Rojas in the Round of 16 on Friday.

Also Thursday, Jake Bredenbeck defeated Kamyron Meeks, 11-2, 11-3, 11-3, which sets up a rematch of last week’s Pan American Championship final with Daniel De La Rosa and Jake Bredenbeck. De La Rosa won easily on Saturday, so Bredenbeck will certainly want to make a better showing this time out.

The IRT Round of 16 will be streamed live Friday from 11 AM via the IRT Network with the quarterfinals Friday afternoon from 5 PM on. Also, the semi-finals will be 11 AM and Noon Saturday with the final Saturday night at 7:00 PM. All times Eastern.
