Behind a fine performance from Ari Lueger, the El Paso Thunderbirds knocked off the Rio de Janeiro Jaguars, 5-4. Lueger was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times for the Thunderbirds. Qian-fu Jiang picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Tony Jiménez suffered the loss. Picking up his 11th save was former first round draft pick Timothy Adamczak.

Late-game drama came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out and the bases empty, the batter, Ari Lueger, hit a double. It helped El Paso seize the win.

El Paso manager AP MP was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard, they played all the way through," he said.

El Paso, now 20-21, holds down third place in the Americas Baseball League North American Division.
