GOLDEN SUNS SOFTBALL ANNOUNCES DATES AND TIMES FOR ITS FOURTH-ANNUAL HALLOWEEN HAUNTED HOUSE

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas –  Arkansas Tech Head Softball coach Gidget Pambianchi has announced that her team will be holding a Home Run Derby Contest as a fundraiser on October 5 beginning at 5 p.m. at the Chartwells Women’s Sports Complex.

The event, which is open to anyone, will cost $1.00 per swing, but you will need to pay at least $5.00 to have a chance to be crowned as a champion. The contestants will try and hit a home run off of former Golden Suns pitcher and current graduate assistant coach Dana Aldrich. Aldrich was named the Gulf South Conference’s Player and Pitcher of the Year as a senior in 2008.

“This should be a fun event and is open to anyone. You don’t need to have any softball playing experience to participate,” Pambianchi said.

The Golden Suns are the two-time defending GSC West Division champions and have posted a combined record of 83-48 over the past two years and have played in the championship round of the GSC Tournament in each of the last two seasons.
