The team next embarks on an eight-game road trip, beginning with three games against last place Victoria and West Division rival, and then against the South Division's Mississippi Sea Wolves (one game), Louisiana IceGators (two games) and Texas Wildcatters (two games). Of the four teams, only Mississippi has a record above .500 percent.
