Bredenbeck into semi-finals at 43rd Annual Lewis Drug IRT Pro-Am

Jake Bredenbeck was the quarterfinal exception at the 43rd Annual Lewis Drug International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Pro-Am in Sioux Falls, South Dakota Friday, as he had the only upset in the quarters. Bredenbeck, the 6th seed, defeated 3rd seed Andree Parrilla, 15-11, 15-11. That would prove to the the closest match of the quarters, as the others were also over in two games with the losers scoring fewer points.

For example, IRT #2 Daniel De La Rosa defeated 10th seed Andrés Acuña, 15-11, 15-8, and will play Bredenbeck in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. IRT #1 Conrrado Moscoso made short work of 9th seed Adam Manilla, winning 15-2, 15-4. He’ll face 4th seed Eduardo Portillo in the semis as Portillo beat 12th seed Javier Mar, 15-6, 15-11.

Bredenbeck also defeated Parrilla in doubles, as he and his brother Sam defeated Parrilla and Alan Natera, 15-6, 10-15, 11-7. In the semi-finals, they’ll play top seeds De La Rosa and Mar, who beat 8th seeds Diego Garcia and Gerson Miranda Martinez, 15-8, 15-6.

The doubles semi-finals will be 2nd seeds Alejandro Landa and Moscoso versus 3rd seeds Andrés Acuña and Eduardo Portillo. In the quarters, Landa and Moscoso beat 7th seeds Robert Collins and Erick Trujillo, 15-5, 15-7, while Acuña and Portillo needed a tie-breaker to defeat 6th seeds Manilla and Mercado, 15-14, 8-15, 11-8.
