The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 8 hits. The Thunderbirds lead the Americas Baseball League North American Division by 3 games.

With El Paso leading 2-1 in the bottom of the third, Long came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Ethan Vergette. Long hit a changeup to left for a 2-run home run. His 9th home run of the season put the Thunderbirds on top, 4-1.

"Tien Dung's not intimidated by who's stepping into the batter's box," said El Paso manager AP MP.
