Recent Texas League “POW” set to go tonight

Springdale, AR – John Lamb is the reigning Texas League “Pitcher of Week” recipient and is set to start tonight’s home-stand opener for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals against the Arkansas Travelers, Texas League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I received notification of my son’s recent award from the Naturals, General Manager, Eric Edelstein yesterday afternoon as it was being announced throughout various Internet sources.

I am simply breathless with response. Lamb now has received two separate “POW” honors for his first full season efforts of professional baseball. Believe me when I say, the path of this season including John’s previous outing are plenty cause for my smiles during the rest of this Double-A schedule. This has been a “pinch me…am I dreaming type year” for our family during the early stages of his career. We can’t possibly be more proud of his efforts and the continued opportunity provided by the Kansas City Royals organization. 

Tonight, Lamb will attempt to give his Naturals teammates a chance to win during his 27th start of the season, in Arvest Ballpark at 7:00 CT. Catch the radio broadcast on ESPN 92.1 The Ticket or see the live game electronic feed from the Naturals website. 

GO NATURALS!
