Playing spoiler in bracket play
New day, new bracket. After an 0–2 Saturday in pool play — 11–2 against TBT and 7–3 against 1904 Baseball Club — the Coyotes came into Sunday as the No. 7 seed and played spoiler. They knocked off No. 2 seed 1904, the same team that beat them Saturday, 8–5 in B3 at 8:45 AM on Steed Park Field 4.
A five-run 2nd set the tone. Fernando Ultreras earned the win with 4 innings and 5 strikeouts, and Logan Flores locked down the save with 2 innings and 4 strikeouts. That’s how you flip the script. The run ended in the afternoon semifinal with a 0–14 loss to RD2, but that morning’s upset remains a moment to be proud of. The final game recap and box score are included below. Let’s go Coyotes!

The Coyotes opened the Triple Crown San Clemente Showdown on Saturday morning with an 11-2 loss @ TBT SoCal 14u-Leonhardt on Field 4 at Steed Park. The game ended after four innings. With Coach Adrian and Brandon out this weekend, nine Coyotes took the field and battled all morning.
La Mirada got on the board right away. Tyler T. drew a walk, stole a base and came around to score in the 1st. TBT answered with four in the bottom of the inning, and turned a double play on a Samuel H. pop-up to end a Coyotes threat.
The highlight came in the top of the 2nd, when Jacob V. launched a solo home run to make it 4-2. Logan F. followed it up on the mound with a scoreless 2nd, striking out two. TBT pulled away with four runs in the 3rd behind a three-run double from Austin Thomason and an RBI double from Jake Newman, then added three more in the 4th.
There was plenty to build on. Coyotes hitters did not strike out once, drew four walks, and got hits from Jacob V., Jose A. and Logan F. Tyler T. and Vince M. each stole a base. Logan F., Abram C. and Aaron G. all took the ball on the mound.
The Coyotes came back that afternoon and fell 7-3 to 1904 Baseball Club in Game 2 of pool play, then headed into Sunday’s bracket as the No. 7 seed with an 8:45 AM game on Field 4. Let's go Coyotes!

Jose Altamirano went 3-for-3 and launched a two-run homer to left Saturday afternoon, giving the Coyotes an early spark in a 7–3 loss to 1904 Baseball Club 14U at Richard T. Steed Memorial Park. La Mirada finished with five hits in its second Pool A game of the Triple Crown San Clemente Showdown.
Aaron Galicia opened the 1st with a single, and Altamirano followed with his two-run shot for a 2–0 lead. 1904 answered with six runs in the bottom half, including RBI doubles by Bradley Hall and Tyler Colville. The Coyotes kept competing, and Galicia scored again in the 3rd on a double-play grounder to make it 6–3.
Altamirano added singles in the 3rd and 5th to complete his perfect day at the plate, while Vince Moran singled in the 4th. Galicia also swiped a base as a courtesy runner in the 5th. On defense, Shane Ramirez and Galicia teamed up for a double play in the 3rd, and the Coyotes held 1904 scoreless through the middle three innings.
Tyler Thornton recorded the final out of the 1st without allowing a run, and Jacob Vega kept the game close with three innings of one-run pitching and three strikeouts. 1904 added its final run on a Dylan Pfardresher double in the 5th. Altamirano’s big bat and the Coyotes’ steady work after the opening inning gave the team plenty to build on heading into Sunday’s bracket play.
The No. 7 seed Coyotes opened Sunday’s bracket play at the Triple Crown San Clemente Showdown with an upset, scoring five runs in the 2nd inning and beating No. 2 seed 1904 Baseball Club 2031, 8–5, on Steed Park Field 4. One day after a 7–3 pool loss to the same team, La Mirada flipped the result and knocked out one of the top seeds in the 14U bracket.
Adrian Hernandez scored on an error in the top of the 1st, and 1904 answered with two in the bottom half. The Coyotes took control in the 2nd. Vince Moran’s RBI double scored Jacob Vega, Tyler Thornton’s sacrifice brought home Aaron Galicia, and Shane Ramirez singled in Moran. Jose Altamirano drew a bases-loaded walk to score Ramirez, and Abram Campos crossed on an error to make it 6–2.
After 1904 got one back in the 2nd, Vega’s RBI single in the 3rd scored Fernando Ultreras, and Logan Flores scored on an error for an 8–3 lead. Adrian Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk and a stolen base, and Moran finished 2-for-3 with an RBI double. The Coyotes drew six walks as a team.
Ultreras earned the win with four innings and five strikeouts. Flores closed it out with two innings of relief, striking out four and allowing an unearned run for the save.
Up next is RD2, the No. 6 seed, who beat CBO 14U 13–2. That semifinal is at 1:00 PM on Field 4, and the winner advances to the 5:30 PM championship at Steed Park.

The Coyotes’ weekend at the Triple Crown San Clemente Showdown came to an end Sunday afternoon in the bracket semifinal, as RD2 Black - Martinez 14U won 14–0 in four innings on Steed Park Field 4. RD2, who beat CBO 14U 13–2 earlier in the day, kept that momentum rolling against the No. 7 seed Coyotes.
RD2 scored two in the 1st and broke it open with eight in the 2nd, helped by Wyatt Harmon’s three-run triple and doubles from Jesse Garcia and Michael Wright. Ryder Theodore earned the win for RD2, and four more runs in the 3rd ended it early under the run rule.
The Coyotes put together some good at-bats against Theodore. Shane Ramirez lined a double, Jose Altamirano and Logan Flores each singled, and Flores also drew a walk. Abram Campos stole a base, and Samuel Hernandez came on in relief and threw a scoreless outing.
It was a tough finish, but the weekend was one to be proud of. After going 0–2 in pool play, the Coyotes entered the bracket as the No. 7 seed and played spoiler, beating No. 2 seed 1904 Baseball Club 8–5 Sunday morning, one day after losing to the same team. This is the same RD2 club the Coyotes beat 7–2 at Montebello on Sep 20.
Up next, the Coyotes visit Yorba Linda Bombers 14U on Monday, Nov 9 at 6:00 PM at Veterans Park, the makeup of the Oct 12 rainout.
