The Bucs (13-8) scored four first-inning runs, then rallied for five runs in the fourth. They finished with nine hits in six innings.

Brandon Kirkham threw two scoreless innings.
Blinn returns to Region XIV Conference play Friday with a 1 p.m. game at Galveston College, and hosts Galveston for a 1 p.m. double-header on Saturday.
