Rocky Carson and Alvaro Beltran will meet in the final of the 2010 Racquetball Warehouse World Outdoor Racquetball Championships (WOR) in Huntington Beach, California on Sunday in what will be a repeat of last year's final, which Carson won in two straight games.

Carson had to play three matches Saturday, and reached the final with a win over Greg Solis (scores unknown) in the semi-finals. In the other semi, Beltran defeated Robert Sostre, 15-14, 15-12.

On the women's side, the top two seeds will also face off in the final as Jackie Paraiso, the #1 seed, defeated Angela Grisar, 15-14, 15-7 in one semi-final, and 2nd seed Rhonda Rajsich beat Janel Tisinger, 15-5, 15-1, in the other.
