RAIN FORCES CANCELLATION OF THE REMAINDER OF TECH'S WEEKEND HOME SERIES WITH NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE

         RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Baseball Head Coach Billy Goss has announced that Sunday’s doubleheader with Northwest Missouri State at Tech Field has been cancelled due to wet field conditions after Saturday’s rainfall that hit the River Valley area. Goss said the series will not be made up.

          The plan originally was to complete the Northwest Missouri State series with a single, nine inning game on Monday had rained cancelled Sunday’s doubleheader, but Saturday’s rain has forced Tech to cancel the remainder of the series.

          “It is way too wet out there for us to play today and the chance for the field to dry before tomorrow is unlikely, so we have decided to cancel the remainder of this weekend’s series and will not make any of these games up,” the Tech coach said.

          The Wonder Boys, who are 6-3 on the season, opened their weekend series with the Bearcats by sweeping a doubleheader on Friday, 6-5 in the first game and 10-0 in the nightcap.

          Tech will return to action on Tuesday, Feb. 19, when they host GSC West Division rival, Arkansas-Monticello, in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. at Tech Field. Following Tuesday’s doubleheader, the Wonder Boys will hit the road for the first time this season as they will play at three-game series at fifth-ranked West Alabama beginning on Saturday, Feb. 23 with doubleheader at 1 p.m. and a single game on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 2 p.m.
