College baseball team split an afternoon double-header against the Alvin
Community College Dolphins here Saturday.
Blinn lost the first game
of the twin bill 5-4 before defeating Alvin 9-7 in the finale. Alvin won the
series opener 9-0 on Friday.
Shortstop Jake Kane hit
a two-run single in the seventh inning to put the Buccaneers ahead for good in
the series finale, capping off a three-hit game for the sophomore. Freshman
Eric Wood went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and Kevin Daniels went 2-for-5 with an
RBI.

in relief, shutting out the Dolphins for 3 2/3 innings. He struck out four
while allowing just two hits.

started the game for the Bucs, allowing two earned runs on four hits while

In the opener, Blinn
(1-2, 1-2 in Region XIV) rallied for three runs in the final two innings, but
it wasn’t enough to pull out the win.
Wood went 2-for-4 with
an RBI, and Kane and Holden Cammack each drove in runs, but the Dolphins scored
three runs in the fifth inning to jump out to a 5-1 advantage that the
Buccaneers couldn’t completely erase.

took the loss, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck
out five over five innings.
