Segerstrom had lost five straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 8-19 to make it six. They fell just short of the Buena Park Coyotes by a score of 3-2. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Coyotes this season, with their most recent defeat being a 5-4 loss back in March.

On the hitting side, Segerstrom saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Issac Acosta, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Xavier Yanez was another, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

On Buena Park's side, Damian Roman looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Roman is becoming a predictor of the Coyotes' success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 8-2 (and 2-16 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Jacob Lopez was excellent, going a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in February of 2025.
