RALEIGH, N.C. -- Travis Blue doubled home Logan Knowles in the top of the 13th inning and three relievers combined to allow two runs in 102/3 innings of work to lead Navy past St. Mary's, 8-5, in a wildly entertaining affair at Doak Field in Dail Park Saturday.
Sean Trent laced a two-run single in the 13th to give the Midshipmen some breathing room. Trent finished 3-for-7 at the plate.
Navy (43-15-1) staved off elimination in the Raleigh Regional and will next face the loser of Saturday night's N.C. State/Coastal Carolina matchup Sunday at 1 p.
