Jonathan Sexton and Peter Hewat converted two penalties apiece before replacement Lamb made his first mark on the game to put the Exiles 9-6 ahead.
Sexton levelled the score once again with his third penalty of the tie, but an offside decision against Mike Ross gave Lamb his chance to win it.
Ulster opened their campaign with a valuable 26-12 home win over Guinness Premiership opposition.
Timosi Nagusa and Willie Faloon both ran in tries while Ian Humphreys again produced an eye-catching performance for the home side, booting 16 points.
Bath could only manage four penalties from Ryan Davis and their misery was compounded when Andy Beattie was sin- binned for dangerous use of the boot.
And in the night's other game, which finsihed 19-17 in the home side's favour, Nicky Robinson rescued Gloucester from abyss with a late penalty that extinguished an impressive Dragons display at Kingsholm.
The visitors outscored Gloucester 2-1 on tries after fly-half James Arlidge and number eight Joe Bearman claimed first-half touchdowns.
But Robinson proved the difference by kicking 14 points, his match-winning strike arriving five minutes from time.
