GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Senior 1B Nate Bankoff's (Lynnfield,
MA) two-run homer in the sixth inning broke a 2-2 tie and
sent visiting Tufts University to a 7-3 baseball win at Guilford
College Monday. Junior RF Chase Rose (Scottsdale,
AZ) had an RBI double in the decisive sixth frame and
added a two-run homer in the seventh for the Jumbos.

win in his first start of the young season with 7 2/3 innings of
five-hit ball. He walked three and fanned six before giving way to
classmate Ed Bernstein (Foxborough, MA) with two
runners on in the eighth inning. Bernstein got out of the jam by
striking out Will Cornelius and then fanned two in a scoreless
ninth for his first save of 2010.
Kyle Wooden paced Guilford's offense with two of the Quakers'
six hits, including his team-leading sixth homer of the year, a
solo shot in the sixth inning. Guilford starter Zach Daw (0-2)
looked strong early and fanned a career-high nine in 5 2/3 innings
before Tufts came alive in the sixth inning. Will Henschel threw
two scoreless innings of relief for Guilford.
Among 13 hits for the Jumbos, junior shortstop David LeResche (St. Louis, MO) continued his good work at the
top of the order with a three hits and a run scored. Senior DH
