Hide AdCaglar scored again two minutes later, while Rovers were forced into a change at the break, debutant Rob Norman replaced by Gabriel Sanni.
Sloppy defending allowed Rothwell to hit back when keeper Aaron Foulton’s clearance rebounded into the net off Rothwell’s front man.
Norman extended Rovers’ superiority with a well-taken effort, before then giving away a penalty, which Foulton saved, only for the visitors to net the rebound.
Despite taking their foot off the gas Ryan King made it 6-2 with a fine strike on 70 minutes and Jaravaza rounded off his hat-trick five minutes later.
