Robert Garza hit a three-run home run in the second inning.
In the second game, Nolan Brown hit a three-run ninth-inning home run to cut San Jacinto’s lead to a single run, but Matt Locus got the final two outs to end the game.
Kevin Santana homered and finished with three RBIs.
Freshman Weston Wick took the tough-luck loss for the Buccaneers, allowing three earned runs over seven innings. Tyler Day threw two innings of relief, allowing two earned runs.
Blinn fell to 15-14 on the season and 6-6 in the Region XIV Conference.
