HARLINGEN - Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings third baseman Leivi Ventura tied the single-season United League Baseball home run record by hitting his 23rd of the season in the first inning on Thursday against Jeff Jamnik of the Laredo Broncos at Harlingen Field.

It was a two-run shot to left field on an 0-1 pitch.
