WONDER BOYS ANNOUNCE THAT ITS HOME BASEBALL GAME WITH UNIVERSITY OF OZARKS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 21

         RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Baseball Coach Billy Goss has announced that his team’s home game on Tuesday, April 7 against the University of Ozarks has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 21 at 6 p.m. at Tech Field.

Goss said that the game needed to be rescheduled due to the fact the Ozarks team is battling sickness and injuries that affected the Wonder Boys last season.

“They are having a lot of the same kind of things happening with their team that happened to us last season, so we decided to move the game back to April 21,” Goss said.

Due to the schedule change, Tech will next be in action this coming weekend when they travel to Arkadelphia, Ark., to face Ouachita Baptist in a key Gulf South Conference series. The teams will play a doubleheader at Rab Rogers Field beginning at 12 p.m. on Friday, April 10 and then play a single game on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. All three games of this weekend’s series will be broadcast live on the radio on KCAB (980 AM) and also on the internet at http://athletics.atu.edu.

Tech enters the weekend series with Ouachita Baptist sporting a 19-23 overall record and is tied for third place with Harding in the GSC West Division standings with a 7-5 mark, while OBU enters the series sporting a 28-14 overall record and is in fifth place in the West Division standings with a 5-7 mark. The top four teams from the West Division at the end of the regular season advance to the GSC Tournament in Millington, Tenn., on May 2-6.
