SALEM, Va.-- Roanoke College's Mark Manthe went 3-for-4 with five RBI in the Maroons' 8-3 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) win over visiting Guilford College Tuesday.

Manthe hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning to set the pace of the game. Roanoke (12-15, 5-7 ODAC) kept chipping away, scoring one run in the third before Guilford (13-15, 5-9 ODAC) could score. A John Macon Smith grounder drove Will Byrd in during the top of the fifth inning.

The Maroons countered with a three-run bottom of the fifth, including an RBI single from Manthe and two-run triple from Clark Crutchfield. The Quakers caught a break in the seventh after Kent Peterson took first on an outfield error and plated two runs, although the late effort was not enough.

Manthe's three hits was a game-best. The Maroons' Cam Cassady and Reece Kingery had two hits apiece. Cluthfield's two RBI was the second-best of the game. Jacob McMillian (1-1) earned his first win on the mound for Roanoke after allowing zero earned runs in five innings. Tyler Grouten, Cameron Holshouser and Austin Gregory each had a hand in Roanoke's zero earned runs allowed.

Guilford's Herc Ingels led the team with two hits. Smith had the team's lone RBI. Nathan Fulbright, D.J. Phillips and Justin Pittman each tallied a hit. Lou Trosch (2-2) allowed seven earned runs in 4.2 innings. Chad Wagoner allowed one in 3.1 innings of relief.

The Quakers play tomorrow, Wednesday, Apr. 3 against Ferrum College at 6:00 p.m.
