Sam Vokes and Brandon Hanlan were both on the scoresheet for the home team at Adams Park.
The Seasiders have only managed one point from their opening three away games in League One.

After his initial header was saved by Dan Grimshaw, the striker reacted quickly to fire home on the rebound.
The Blues had a number of opportunities to double their lead in the first half, with a couple of good balls into the box just lacking a final touch.
Down the other end, Jordan Rhodes thought he had levelled the scores, but his celebrations were cut short by the linesman’s flag for offside.
Moments after the restart, Wycombe claimed their second of the afternoon.

A Garath McCleary ball into the box found Hanlan at the back post, with forward finishing past Grimshaw with a side-footed volley.
Following a number of second half half subs, Blackpool started to look a little bit brighter heading into the latter stages.
Rhodes and Sonny Carey forced Stryjek into a couple of important saves- with the latter of the two being a fantastic stop to deny a half volley from the edge of the box.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:

The only tags that have ever properly stuck with Mo Salah at Liverpool are 'selfish' and 'greedy'. That was always complete nonsense but especially so now.
Manchester United have scored nine goals and conceded 14 so clearly should have signed Kane. But it's alright because Hojlund 'showed he could match' him.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham's buy-back clause for Harry Kane will "not allow them to sign him again whenever they want".
Gerrard left Liverpool in 2015 after Rodgers told him his game time would be limited, only for Klopp to arrive two months later. Gerrard was 'devastated'.
Schmeichel is all upset with Arteta but Carragher reckons Arsenal have simply upgraded and insists they would have 'no chance' of winning the Premier League with Ramsdale in goal.
Andy Cole says two Manchester United stars are suffering from 'second season syndrome' in the Premier League and need to perform to regain the 'respect that's gone'.
Kai Havertz was very meh, then very good, to provide the strongest evidence yet that Mikel Arteta is putting a square peg in a round hole. Oh, and Arsenal were brilliant.
The BBC has snubbed the Red Roses by turning down the chance to show their upcoming matches against Canada – despite being offered the rights for free.
