Little Rock, AR - The Arkansas Travelers announced Thursday that the game on Sunday, June 28 vs. the Springfield Cardinals at Dickey-Stephens Park will be televised across the country on American Sports Network (ASN) as a part of the "Minor League Baseball Sunday Showcase."

American Sports Network (ASN) is the sports department of the U.S. television station owner Sinclair Broadcast Group. Formed in July 2014, ASN produces broadcasts of sporting events that are aired primarily across stations owned by Sinclair (in particular, CW and MyNetworkTV stations owned and/or operated by the company, or, in some markets, on a digital subchannel of a Sinclair station), and syndicated to non-Sinclair stations and regional sports networks.
The game on Sunday, June 28, is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. Every Sunday is Operation: Military Appreciation at Dickey-Stephens Park where a Military ID gets you $3 off your ticket while the Travelers dawn their custom camouflage jerseys.
