Monday's Twinbill Washed Away

May 23, 2011 - Texas League (TL1)
Northwest Arkansas Naturals News Release

SPRINGDALE, AR - The Northwest Arkansas Naturals' Monday doubleheader against the Arkansas Travelers has been cancelled due to the continuous heavy rain showers. The game began but was called after the top of the second inning with no score.

The game will not be made up because this is the Travelers' final trip to Northwest Arkansas in the first half of the season, and, due to two doubleheaders scheduled for the Naturals' early June trip to North Little Rock, there is nowhere to fit the game on the schedule. This is the fifth rainout the Naturals have suffered at Arvest Ballpark this season; marking a club record.

The waterlogged Naturals and Travelers, to date this season, have had 12 games scheduled between the two teams, and only seven have taken place. All tickets from Monday are eligible, per the Naturals' rain check policy, to be exchanged for an equal-value ticket, based on availability, to any regular season Naturals game during the remainder of the 2011 season.

The Naturals have a travel day Tuesday as they head to Frisco, TX to begin a six-game road trip that takes them to Frisco and Midland. The next home game is Wednesday, June 1st against Frisco.

The Northwest Arkansas Naturals are the Double-A Texas League affiliate of the Kansas City Royals and play at state-of-the-art Arvest Ballpark, located in Springdale. Visit our website, nwanaturals.com, for information on season tickets and ticket plans.
