Navarrete, who played for Marlboro High School and Rutgers University, lined a shot into shallow right field leading off the second inning. But BlueClaws right fielder Carlos Acevedo raced over and made a diving catch. Navarrete gave the BlueClaws a scare later, tripling to left field with two out in the top of ninth in a scoreless game. But Navarrete was stranded on third when Miguel De La Cruz struck out swinging. The BlueClaws play their first afternoon home game at 1 p.m. today, the series finale with Hickory.
Tomorrow is an off day.
The BlueClaws play four at home against Lexington starting on Monday.
