Unfortunately for BLU, Wagner’s (19) was the only score of substance as Echuca’s balanced bowling attack laid waste, led by Nick Dolan (2-5).
Rushworth (2-81) had little trouble blowing past Elmore (80) as the Tigers eye a third-place finish.
James Harney (32) and Luke Price (19) did their best with not much help as Regan Hanson led Rushworth’s bowling attack (4-26).
