Barwon Heads opening pair Matthew Bode and Jason Mallett broke a club record for the highest ever first XI opening partnership on Saturday.
Their 263-run stand eclipsed the previous best of 182, set in 2002 by Andy Booth and Ash McHarry.
Bode smacked 138 from 121 deliveries and Mallett made 115 from 125 against a hapless Newcomb side.
Both fell in the latter stages, unselfishly chasing runs despite knowing their team had made more than enough for victory.
Barwon Heads made 2-268 and then dismissed Newcomb for 76 with young seamer Taj Don snaring four wickets.
