SOFTBALL ADJUSTS SCHEDULE, WILL HOST CHRISTIAN BROTHERS
ON SUNDAY AND PLAY AT CBU ON MONDAY

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Softball has made an adjustment to its schedule as it will now host Christian Brothers in a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at 2 p.m. at the Chartwells Women’s Sports Complex and then will travel to Memphis, Tenn., to face the Lady Buccaneers in a doubleheader on Monday at 2 p.m.

Originally, Tech was scheduled to play at home on Friday against Christian Brothers and then face the Lady Bucs on Sunday in Memphis, but heavy rains in the River Valley Area on Wednesday and Thursday forced Tech officials to postpone Friday’s doubleheader.

“The weather is suppose to clear up the next two days and should allow our field to dry in time to play at home on Sunday,” Golden Suns Softball Coach Gidget Pambianchi said.

Friday’s postponed game was the second time this week that the Golden Suns lost a home doubleheader thanks to the weather, as Tech was forced to cancel Tuesday’s doubleheader with Central Baptist thanks to rain.

Tech, who is 27-9 overall on the season and 9-3 in the GSC, hasn’t played since dropping a doubleheader last Saturday at Delta State. Tech lost the first game, 11-3 and then fell 5-4 in the nightcap to the Lady Statesmen. Meanwhile, CBU enters the weekend with a 14-16 record and a 1-11 mark in the GSC West Division.
