Aaron Donnelly picked out Millar in a promising Larne attack which finished with Gartside's stop.
Heatley put Carrick into the lead with a trademark run from deep and composed finish after Billy Joe Burns' pass from the back.
Larne managed to level on 79 minutes thanks to O'Connor as the substitute climbed off the bench and on to the away scoresheet with a low right-foot shot.
