Chapel Hill, N.C.- Jacob Stallings' Grand Slam home run to left in the top of the fifth inning was the biggest hit in Navy's 9-3 over the Blue squad on Sunday afternoon at Boshamer Stadium.
Navy led 1-0 going into the inning before Tom Zengel's RBI single made the lead 2-0. Stallings' blast upped the lead to 6-0. After Blue trimmed the lead to 6-2 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth, Cody Stubbs and Tom Zengel had back-to-back homers to lead off the three-run top of the seventh.
The Navy squad had an 11-7 edge in hits, while neither team committed an error.
The next closed scrimmage will be this Thursday afternoon at the Bosh. Carolina is also scheduled to scrimmage on both Friday and Saturday of this week. TarHeelBlue will have exclusive coverage of all of Carolina's scrimmages.
