Robbie Dickey gave the Blinn baseball team everything it asked from him against the fifth-ranked Navarro Bulldogs Saturday.

And coach Harvey McIntyre couldn't be more impressed.

Dickey threw a one-hitter, struck out 15 and allowed one run as the Buccaneers rallied to beat the Bulldogs 2-1 and sweep the opening day of the Blinn Tournament.

The Bucs beat New Mexico Junior College 10-1 in the tournament opener.

"Watching him tonight was something special," McIntyre said of Dickey. "The thing about it is he struggled in the first inning—he threw 31 pitches. But he found it, like the good ones do—they make adjustments throughout the game, pitch by pitch, until they get it together."

Although Navarro managed one run, Dickey was in control of the Bulldogs lineup all night. He wasn't afraid to attack the Bulldog hitters with a steady dose of fastballs—which can reach the mid-90s—before resorting to his breaking pitches if he saw they were sitting on the heat.

Of Dickey's 15 strikeouts, 13 were swinging.

Dickey was named the No. 1 overall junior college prospect in the nation by Perfect Game USA.

After Blinn (4-1) tied the game in the top of the seventh with the assist of a drop third strike, Dickey struck out the side in the bottom half of the frame to close out the victory.

"He wasn't afraid to attack the strike zone tonight," McIntyre said. "After the first inning, his fastball command was the best it's been."

The Blinn offense had to cap off a rally to ensure Dickey got the victory.

Cullen Jozwiak scored in the top of the seventh on a dropped third strike—one that would have ended the game—and sophomore Cullen Gassaway, who was 1-for-4, laced a single to left field to give Blinn a 2-1 lead.

The rally came after Navarro capitalized on a leadoff double in the fourth inning.

"With a comeback victory like this, it can give a young club some confidence," McIntyre said. "You win some coming from behind and you never think you're out of a game."

Blinn was never out of its contest against New Mexico.

The Bucs put together a three-run second on RBI hits from Jozwiak and Jose Reyes to take a 3-1 lead, then blew the game open with a six-run sixth inning.

Nolan Brown was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI, and Gassaway was 2-for-3 with four RBI and a run scored.

Through five games this season, Gassaway has 12 RBI.

Sophomore Shane McCarley threw a complete game for the Bucs. He allowed one run—unearned—on three hits and struck out six.

In 14 innings played today, the Bucs struck out 21 and allowed one earned run on four hits.

"It was a really big day for our kids," McIntyre said. "But we can't settle on today, because tomorrow is a big day, too."
