WET FIELD CONDITIONS FORCE TECH TO POSTPONE SUNDAY'S
HOME SOFTBALL DOUBLEHEADER WITH CHRISTIAN BROTHERS

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas –  The weather continues to wreck havoc on Arkansas Tech's home softball schedule as the Golden Suns have cancelled Sunday's home doubleheader with Christian Brothers due to unplayable field conditions following Friday night's rainstorm that hit the River Valley area.

        Golden Suns Head Softball Coach Gidget Pambianchi says that her team will now play a doubleheader against Christian Brothers on Monday, March 23, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Chartwells Women's Sports Complex. The other two games of the four-game Gulf South Conference series will not be rescheduled at this time.

          "The rain that hit the area on Friday night has still left our field very wet and unplayable," the fourth-year Tech coach said. "I'm hopeful that another of drying will allow us to play on Monday."     

          This is the second straight weekend that the weather has forced the Golden Suns to adjust its home schedule.

          Tech enters the weekend having won five straight games to raise its record to 21-13 overall record and 5-3 in the GSC. Meanwhile, Christian Brothers enters the weekend with a 10-6 record and a 2-2 mark in the GSC.
