RAIN WASHES OUT SUNDAY'S HOME SERIES FINALE AGAINST CHRISTIAN BROTHERS

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Due to an overnight rainstorm that hit the Arkansas River Valley area, the Arkansas Tech Baseball team has been forced to cancel its Gulf South Conference home game that was scheduled for 1 p.m. at Tech Field on Sunday with Christian Brothers.

          Sunday’s game was supposed to be the finale of a three-game weekend series between the two teams as the Buccaneers opened the series by sweeping a doubleheader from the Wonder Boys on Saturday. CBU opened the series by posting a 9-8 win in the first game and then took the nightcap, 10-4.

          “All the rain we had overnight and the continued calls for rain throughout the day on Sunday have forced us to cancel Sunday’s series finale with Christian Brothers,” Wonder Boys Baseball Coach Billy Goss said. “Due to conference rules, the game cannot be made up.”

          It is the sixth time this season and the fourth time this month that Tech has had to cancel a home game due to weather.  

          With Sunday’s cancellation, the Wonder Boys, who are now 17-13 overall and 6-2 in the GSC, will now return to action on Tuesday, April 1 when they welcome Lyon College to Tech Field for a single, nine inning contest beginning at 6 p.m. Lyon College earned a 15-9 win earlier this season in Russellville over the Wonder Boys.

          Following Tuesday’s game, the Wonder Boys will return to GSC action when they host fourth-ranked Southern Arkansas in a three-game weekend series at Tech Field. The series will open with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 5 beginning at 2 p.m. and will close the series with a single game on Sunday, April 6 at 1 p.m.
