FOUR-GAME HOME SERIES WITH NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Baseball Coach Billy Goss has announced a schedule change for his team’s four-game home series this weekend with Northwest Missouri State at Tech Field.

Goss announced that Friday’s opener, which was originally scheduled to be one nine inning game, will now be played as two seven inning games beginning at 2 p.m. In addition to adjusting Friday’s games, Goss also said that if rain postpones Sunday’s series finale, the two teams will play that finale on Monday, Feb. 18 at 1 p.m.

The Wonder Boys enter the weekend fresh off a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday at home over Southwest Baptist. Tech opened the twinbill by collecting an 11-4 win and then posted a 14-0 victory in the second game. In the doubleheader, junior third baseman Tony Sanchez (Mesquite, Texas) went 8-for-8 at the plate with four runs scored and two RBIs, including hitting a two-run homer in the first inning of the second game of the doubleheader. In addition to Sanchez, junior shortstop Josh Holloway (Booneville, Ark.) went 4-for-8 at the plate with 8 RBIs and freshman outfielder Tyler Tate (Fort Smith, Ark.) was 5-for-7 at the plate with four runs scored and 6 RBIs.

Meanwhile, Northwest Missouri State will be playing its first games of the 2008 season.
