Dion Blair then joined Adams and smashed a man-of-the-match innings of 92 not out, with Adams making 58 and Jackson Blair finishing 12 not out.
The Tigers were never in the hunt in their run chase, being dismissed for 100 in reply.
Jai Bourke top-scored down the order with 30 and opener Zane Brown made 20.
