RAIN FORCES CANCELLATION OF TUESDAY'S NON-CONFERENCE DOUBLEHEADER AT ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Golden Suns Softball has announced that its doubleheader scheduled for Tuesday, March 18, has been cancelled due to a forecast that calls for a 100 percent chance of rain across the state of Arkansas on Tuesday.

It is the fourth time this season that inclement weather has cancelled games on the Golden Suns. Earlier this season, Tech had the final two games of the GSC/Midwest Crossover Tournament at Tunica, Miss., cancelled due to rain, while the Golden Suns had its tournament at Evangel University in Springfield, Mo., cancelled due to rain and had its tournament at Missouri Southern in Joplin, Mo., cancelled due to wintery weather.

“The forecast calls for a likelihood of rain tomorrow, so UAPB officials decided it would be best to cancel the doubleheader ahead of time,” Golden Suns Head Coach Gidget Pambianchi said. “Due to the availability of dates the remainder of the season, it was decided that the doubleheader will get rescheduled this season.”

Tech, who is off to a program-best 21-5 overall record and is 6-0 in the GSC, will now return to action on Friday, March 21, when they travel to Arkadelphia, Ark., to face Ouachita Baptist in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. On Saturday, OBU and Tech will face each other again in Russellville for a doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. at the Chartwells Women’s Sports Complex.
