2016 IRT St Louis Winter Rollout

It's a bit of a case of the usual suspects in the semi-finals of the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) St Louis Winter Rollout tournament in St Louis, Missouri. Kane Waselenchuk, IRT #1, and Rocky Carson, IRT #2, are both in the semis, and joining them are Alvaro Beltran and Jose Rojas.

Daniel De La Rosa, IRT #3, is the surprise absentee, but Beltran defeated De La Rosa in the quarterfinals Friday, 11-5, 11-8, 11-5. Beltran will play Carson in the semis Saturday, as Carson beat Jansen Allen, 11-1, 11-3, 11-4, in the quarters.

On the top side of the draw, Waselenchuk faces Jose Rojas in the other semi-final. In the quarters, Waselenchuk beat Mario Mercado, 11-6, 11-1, 11-0, and Rojas defeated Charlie Pratt in four games, 11-6, 7-11, 11-6, 11-1.

The semi-finals will go Saturday at 11 AM and noon, and will be streamed live via the IRT Network with the final Saturday at 7 PM. All times Central.
