Mat Goles, Burridge's South African opening batsman, will have Tom Morton's ECB Southern Premier League run record in his sights if he continues his current rate of scoring.
His highest yet 164 not out against Havant took his run aggregate to 639 - an average of 106.50 - 588 behind Morton's 1,217 haul with eight matches remaining.
The Cape Townean's sizeable ton in the abandoned match against Havant was his third hundred of the season, which began with an opening day 147 against the Hampshire Academy.
A first baller at Bashley (Rydal) three weeks ago fired Goles' run thirst, his unbeaten 146 against top flight leaders St Cross Symondians continuing with a sparkling 164 not out against second-placed Havant.
Rain was the eventual winner at The Ridge with Havant going well in reply to Burridge’s 262-8 declared. The visitors were 122-1 with skipper Ben Walker 68 not out and teenager Charlie Whitfield 35 not out, the pair having added 90 for the second wicket.
Goles had earlier dominated Burridge innings after his side had been put into bat. The batter - who made three first class appearances for Western Province five years ago - belted 14 fours and seven sixes in his 146-ball knock.
Goles has a potential eight more innings left in a bid to score the 361 runs he needs to become only the sixth player to score 1,000 runs in a single SPL/Southern League campaign.
Hampshire legend Robin Smith set a new Southern League run record of 1,015 for Trojans 40 years ago. The former England international’s record was beaten twice in 2003, when South African Erasmus Hendriske - also playing for Trojans - hit 1,025 Division 3 runs.
That same year, Kiwi Neal Parlane set a new record with 1,074 for Totton-based BAT Sports in the top flight. Two years later, Will Prozesky, who played for Havant and Purbrook, set a new best, scoring just two more runs than Parlane.
Last summer, Hambledon’s Matt De Villiers raised the bar even higher, plundering a spectacular 1,234 Division 2 runs. De Villiers, meanwhile, has carried on scoring runs - lots of them - for Longridge in the Northern Premier League this year. In 21 league and cup innings, he has already plundered over 1,100 runs - including six centuries. Two of those tons came in T20 ties against Garstang.
