Munzon, who played his first game since his hand injury, added 13 points, four rebounds and two steals.
A pair of free throws by JP Calvo then a steal and dunk by Hester in the final seconds sealed the Dyip’s second win in six games.
Blackwater, meanwhile, blew a golden opportunity to post a breakthrough win as its record losing streak hits 25 games.
New Bossing import Shawn Glover, who replaced Jaylen Bond, had 35 points and 17 rebounds in a losing effort.
