Tom Berzins cracked 124 as Sparsholt ran amok, totalling 342 against depleted Havant II in Southern Premier Division 3 at Locks Lane.
He hit a six and 17 fours, enjoying a century-plus stand with Brad Dawes (68) while Jack Fuller (35) and Matt Robbins (32) played useful support roles.
Left-arm spin all-rounder Steve Matthews, with a 3-56 return and top score of 47, was Havant's keynote player, while Ollie Perkins (37) helped the reply to 161. Callum Doran (3-27) and Fuller (3-27) shared six of the Havant wickets.
Near neighbours Hursley Park reached 24-0 but lost four wickets for two runs to Fawley pair Bailey Parratt (4-22) and Raminder Singh (2-22) at Holbury.
Kumo Sharma (34) looked on with horror from the non-striker's end. Henry Sparks (20) rallied, leaving Oli Green (42) to shepherd the tail to 125. He became one of three victims for Newcastle NSW leggie Conor Gibson (3-15).
Openers Callum Earl (42) and Sufian Munir (26) put 57 on the board before Gibson chipped in with 29.
Tony Richman (3-12) enjoyed success with the new ball as Paultons reduced Fareham & Crofton to 15-4 before dismissing them for 97 (Tom Adams 30*). Rob Pike made 34 as Paultons eased to a seven-wicket win.

Max Allen [left] starred in a century opening partnership with Tom Pearce as South Wilts II celebrated a second consecutive Division 3 victory.
Allen hit three sixes and eight fours in his 87 and alongside Pearce (36) provided South Wilts with the platform from which they were able to post 240 and beat hosts Hook & Newnham Basics II by 84 runs.
Buoyed by a 122-run start, South Wilts lost five wickets for 20 runs (Luke Burgess 4-47) before Alex Vincent (31), George Nash (20) and Nick Partridge (18) consolidated affairs.
Mulhammad Rizwan (42) and Jaiden Hall (25) gave Hook a 73-run start, but Pearce (3-17) broke through with his left-arm spin as four wickets fell cheaply.
Kevin Light (36) and Tom Dyer (21) halted the slide but Hook's last six wickets fell for 28 runs, three of them to William Langdown (36) as the innings ended at 156 all out.
Syed Mahmood took 5-14 as Parley lost their last six wickets for only four runs in plunging to 73 all out and a 70-run defeat by Trojans, who successfully defended 143 (Ananthu Ajayan 37). Earlier, Marcus Bragginton took 6-14 off ten overs, six of which were maidens.
