Chris Stone another 50 [Roy Honeybone]
The Southern Premier League’s highest runscorer in the top flight this season gave Havant a dramatic victory - with the ball!
Chris Stone had West Indian all-rounder Jaidel Richardson caught by Harry Gadd as the visitors secured a one-run Premier Division win at Totton & Eling.
That ended a fine last-wicket stand of 32 between Anguillan Richardson (55) and last man Joe Bracey (12 not out) that spanned 10 overs and threatened to sentence Havant to their third one-wicket SPL loss of the campaign.
Chasing 173 for victory at Southern Gardens, Totton looked destined for a heavy defeat at 68-7. But a hobbling Brighton Mugochi (49 off 31 balls) and Richardson put on 71 for the eighth wicket.
That stand ended on 139 when Mugochi was caught by Stone off the bowling of Harry Gadd, with Sam Beer then run out by Stone without any further runs added.
Stone had earlier taken his league run tally to 483 with 55 - his fifth score of 50 or more in nine innings in 2022 - as Havant were bowled out for 171, Joe Bracey taking 5-60.
Stone hit seven fours and two sixes in his 51-ball innings before he was trapped leg before by teenager Leo Taylor.
