BASEBALL ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE CHANGES FOR THIS WEEKEND'S SERIES AT CHRISTIAN BROTHERS DUE TO THE WEATHER

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech’s Baseball team has announced that its three-game Gulf South Conference series scheduled for this weekend here against Christian Brothers has had to be adjusted due to wet field conditions.

The two teams were scheduled to open the series with a doubleheader on Saturday, March 28 and then play a single game on Sunday, March 29. But due to wet field conditions, CBU officials have moved now scheduled the single game for Saturday at 3 p.m. and have moved the doubleheader to Sunday beginning at 12 p.m.

“The field at CBU is still very wet from rains that have hit the Memphis area the past two days, so they decided to make an adjustment to this weekend’s schedule,” Wonder Boys Head Coach Billy Goss said. ‘Hopefully, the weather will clear up and allow the field to dry out so we can play baseball this weekend.”

Tech enters the weekend sporting a 16-20 overall record and is sitting in third place in the GSC West Division standings with a 4-2 mark, while CBU is 7-17 overall and 0-3 in the GSC.

All three games of this weekend’s series will be broadcast live on the radio on KCAB (980 FM) in the Russellville area and also on the internet at http://athletics.atu.edu.
