The Victorian recruit would patiently occupy the crease on Saturday to knock out 134 off 285 balls.
North Hobart held a 203-run first innings lead, but after being bundled out for just 46 seven days earlier, New Town proved up to the challenge to survive at 6-271.
Ex-Launceston quicks Alex Pyecroft and Ben Fraser – taking nine wickets between them in the first innings – struggled to make inroads.
Fraser finished with 2-55 while Pyecroft went wicketless off his 23 overs.
Clarence almost pulled off an unlikely win after University of Tasmania held a 73-run first innings lead.
Captain Harrison Allanby carved out 102 off 87 balls, as Clarence recklessly smashed 5-219 in just 28 overs.
University had no interest in the 146 run chase for outright victory when it slipped to 5-24 before taking the score to 6-74 at close of play.
Former Mowbray allrounder Fletcher Seymour claimed 2-2 in five overs.
Kingborough had little problems in claiming a strong 170-run win over Glenorchy.
State squad players Clive Rose took 4-79 and Beau Webster 3-45 with their finger spin at the Twin Ovals.
Tom Rogers staunchly resisted with 90 towards Glenorchy’s 229 all out.
Hamish Kingston took 5-65 to press his claims for a Tasmanian recall in South Hobart-Sandy Bay’s 127-run win over Lindisfarne.

The day I realised I wasn't good enough to play for St Kilda or be the No.1 spinner for Australia was when I realised journalism was the closest I could come to follow my passion for sport. And it's not just about the scores for me. It's the back story behind the game.
