Cubillos into 16s at 2019 Arizona IRT Pro-Am

Set Cubillos knocked off the 12th seed Sebastian Fernandez, 15-10, 3-15, 11-3, in the Round of 32 at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Arizona IRT Pro-Am in Tempe, Arizona. Cubillos will play 5th seed Conrrado Moscoso in the Round of 16 later on Friday. Andres Acuña was also an upset winner, but of a smaller variety, as he won the 16/17 seed match against 16th seed Adam Manilla, 15-5, 15-10. The win gets Acuña a match with IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk.

Ruben Baez almost had the biggest upset of the 32s, as he was only a few points away from beating 9th seed David Horn. Baez led the whole first game, but just squeaked it out, 15-14. Horn levelled the match at 1-1 by winning game two 15-10, and he pushed on to win, completing the comeback with a 11-3 tie-breaker. Baez was close early in the breaker, but after Horn got up 6-3, Baez just couldn’t score any more points.

Look for all the action via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. The Round of 16 will start at 4 PM Friday. The quarterfinals begin at 9 AM Saturday with the semi-finals at 5 & 6 PM Saturday, and the final at noon Sunday. All times Mountain Standard Time.
