Liphook's winning form in the Southern Premier League seems to have had a knock-on effect throughout the club.
The second and third teams also notched up good league wins on Saturday.
Second-placed BAT Sports were humbled by Duncan Berry's men at Southampton, thanks to another impressive batting display by the Ripsley Park side.
BAT elected to bat first and, after a poor start (22-2) against the seam attack of Tim Wheatley and Chris Wright, recovered to total a healthy 200-7 in their 50 overs.
Eighteen-year-old opener Damien Shirazi anchored the innings and skipper Dave Banks joined him in a fine stand of 87 for the fourth wicket.
However, wickets began to fall again and Shirazi was eventually bowled by Wheatley for 86 in the 47th over.
Wheatley was again excellent, finishing with 3 for 35 from his 10 overs.
The early departure of Steve Riley, last week's centurion, was a setback for Liphook, but Berry pulled a master stroke in promoting Ben Jansen to number 3.
The New Zealander rose to the challenge with an imperious knock. Wright, Jeremy Bulled and Graham Tyler gave valuable support, but, at 136-5 with 11 overs left, Liphook still had plenty to do.
However, Berry joined Jansen and the pair calmly knocked off the remaining runs with five balls to spare.
Liphook will attempt to make it three wins in a row when they entertain South Wilts this Saturday.
