More clever two-touch passing after the break saw the Reds extend their advantage with debutant Blackburn heading in from close range.
Jack made it five when he poked a shot home from just inside the box before Scholemore pulled another goal back, with poor defending to blame again.
Stanningley finished off the game in style though, with Hardaker turning and firing a shot into the back of the net.
Manager Dave Noonan said: "It was a deserved victory, we played the ball around very well in patches and overall it was a very solid performance.
"Credit also to Scholemore, who played some good stuff at times."
With tougher challenges to come, they showed that with a strong team ethic, they will be very hard to beat as the season progresses.
