Tontitown's famed family The Duggars, from the popular TLC show 18 Kids and Counting, will make a special appearance at Arvest Ballpark this Thursday, May 21st, for the Naturals' 7:00 P.M. game against the Tulsa Drillers.

Jim Bob, Michelle, and their 18 children will all throw first pitches before the game, and their actions all night will be filmed by the TLC camera crews who will be on site shooting an episode of the television series. The Duggars will participate in the Naturals' on-field activities during the game in which they will show the television audience their allegiance to the region's only professional sports franchise.
