Nick McMurray toasted a maiden ECB Southern Premier Division five-wicket haul as Burridge pumped up the pressure at the top by thrashing New Milton at Fernhill.
The lanky pace bowler took 5-37 and Geoff Dods 3-15 as Burridge skittled the Green & Golds for a dismal 76 before romping to a nine-wicket win.
McMurray, part of a tasty four-man Burridge pace attack, whipped out openers Tom Arnold and Dave Wakefield.
With new ball partner Dan Stancliffe trapping Nick Park leg before, Milton were soon reeling at 19-3.
Last year’s Division 1 champions lost a wicket every ten runs or so after that, with only two batsmen making double figures.
McMurray [pictured by Roy Honeybone] removed five of New Milton’s top seven batsmen before South African Dods took 3-15 as the last four wickets fell for nine runs.
New Milton had little prospect of defending 76, but George Watts did produce a ray of light by having Burridge opener Dan Hewitt caught behind for one.
But Rick Ankers (30) and an eight-four 40 not out by Joe Collings-Wells completed the formalities in quick time to give Burridge a 24-point win.
