Left out of the Southern Premier League side beaten at OTs & Romsey, Ben Attrill hammered a career-best best 153 not out for Ventnor II against HCL Division 3 South rivals Southampton Community at Steephill.
But his unbeaten knock wasn't quite enough to get Ventnor across the line as they fell two runs short of matching the visitors 258-9.

Jim Ryall struck an impressive century to guide Dorset to 248-4 - just enough to earn a tight 13-run win over the Channel Islands in he ECB 50-plus County Championship in Jersey.
He hit104 and shared a huge second-wicket stand with Martin Miller (55) after Gary French (23) had helped provide a solid base.
Ryall then bagged three victims behind the stumps as the Channel Islands replied with a creditable 235-7 (Jefferies 87), Nick Marsh taking 3-53 and Sean Wallbridge 2-72.
Dorset entertain Wiltshire at Blandford on Wednesday.

​Sean Wallbridge, who took over 230 Minor Counties wickets for Dorset in a ten year span, showed he had lost none of his old touch by bowling the county Over-50s side to a six-wicket ECB Championship win over Hampshire at Blandford.
The left-arm orthodox left-arm spinner took 5-23 to initiate a Hampshire collapse from 57 without loss to 125-9 - a target Dorset polished off with some comfort.
Hampshire's batsmen found it hard going after Dorset had won the toss, but totally lost their way after a promising start by Darren McBride (27) and Gary Clapham (25).
Wallbridge, who plys his trade for Bere Regis these days, snapped up five of the next six Hampshire wickets to fall - Brendan Fourie, who played provincial cricket in South Africa in his prime, keeping his side afloat with an unbeaten 45.
Dorset lost Jim Ryall and Martin Miller cheaply, but Gary French (47) and Errol Anderson (40) took control to steer their side to a six-wicket win with 14 balls to spare.
