Wallington dug deep to square the ledger at three wins and three losses with an epic win against Portarlington in A2 Grade.
Batting first on day one, Wallington piled on the runs at Oakdene Oval to reach a hefty 8/318 at stumps.
Starts from Sven Burluraux (28), Adam Bovell (26) and Luke Innes (33) at the top of the order had the Wallabies in a good position and were backed up by the middle order.
Dane Wise-Graham (42) and Henry McIntosh (28) gave some stability in the middle stages, but at 8/216 Wallington was in danger of getting a sub-par score on the fast outfield at Oakdene.
Enter Owen Dunn and Colin Smith, who put together a priceless unbeaten 102-run stand for the ninth wicket.
Dunn was not out on 50 from 62 balls and Smith made 48 not out from 59.
However, there was little indication of the carnage that was about to come on day two.
Port opener Brenton Toole launched a withering attack to compile an astonishing 167 from only 152 deliveries that included 22 boundaries and three sixes.
The next highest score was a pair of 28s from James Tilders and Stephen Illingworth.
Port eventually fell for 303 in what was a superb, but ultimately unsuccessful, run chase to have Wallington only percentage outside the top four.
Wallington defeated Queenscliff in B2 Grade with Taylor Cameron (4/35) helping restrict the Coutas to 8/148 from 60 overs on day one.
Damian Howsam (71 from 81 balls) and Damien Biemans (42 off 30) then got the required runs in the 32nd over for the loss of five wickets.
Wallington’s two D Grade sides are in the hunt for finals spots. The main highlights of the past two rounds was Riley Morrison’s 102 retired against Collendina. Morrison hit 13 fours and five sixes.
