ARLINGTON, Texas. (3/11/16) – The Arkansas State baseball team's game against UT Arlington Friday night has been postponed due to heavy rainfall in the area and will be played as part of a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 2 p.m. at Clay Gould Ballpark in Arlington, Texas.

Friday's game and Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams was set for a 6:30 p.m. first pitch, but had to be postponed due to the heavy rainfall that the area has already experienced, along with the potential for more throughout the day.

A-State enters the series with a 7-5 record on the season, while UT Arlington is 8-6. This will be the fourth consecutive Saturday doubleheader the Red Wolves have played to open the season. A-State had to play a Saturday doubleheader against UAB on opening weekend due to the threat of rain on Sunday and then played two scheduled doubleheaders on Saturdays before this schedule change.
