South Wilts piled up 272-7 before university students Luke Evans and Jack Mynott took five wickets each to skittle New Milton for a meagre 82 at Bemerton.
With overnight leaders, the Hampshire Academy, Basingstoke & North Hants and Burridge all losing, South Wilts climbed four places to leapfrog to the top of the Southern Premier League table.
New Milton, meanwhile, are marooned at the bottom, without a win and even at this early stage, look set for relegation.
Tom Morton’s 55 got things underway for South Wilts, who steadily accumulated and by lunch had made 167-3, with Ben Draper having just saluted his half-century.
Draper (67) and James Hayward (39) added 78 for the fourth wicket before James Hibberd (47) and Luke Evans (21 not out) pushed the score on to 272-7 declared in the 62nd over.
Australian born teenager Oli Wilmore took 3-36 on debut.
New Milton progressed to 37 without loss, but once Tom Arnold (17) was trapped leg before by Jack Mynott, they fell to pieces.
Nine wickets fell for 36 runs as New Milton plunged to their third below-100 total in four Premier Division games.
Off-spinner Mynott finished with a league best 5-27, while Evans’s 5-13 return included his 100th SPL wicket.
