After proving too strong for St Michaels at Rawlings Park on Saturday, the Bulls almost repeated the dose against Wagga City at the same venue on Sunday.
Isaac Cooper made 50 in the 39-win over St Michaels after making 6-157.
Captain Adam Newcombe was thrilled with how he controlled things for the side.
"It was a really good deck to bat on and it all went our way," Newcombe said.
"Coops made 50 and really steadied the ship in the middle of the innings after we lost wickets early."
Newcombe then top scored with 41 as they made 8-109 against the Cats.
Wagga City looked to be well on top before the Bulls were able to get back into the contest.
Newcombe was pleased by how the young side responded, only to fall on the second last ball.
"Our bowlers really tied them up and put a lot of pressure on," he said.
The result leave St Michaels winless after their two matches with a clash against South Wagga to come on Wednesday night while Lake Albert plays Wagga RSL on Thursday.
