Scarborough CC batter Breidyn Schaper continued his superb YPLN season with knocks of 85 and 96no on a mixed weekend, with a home hammering of Sessay on Saturday followed by a loss against Woodhouse Grange at North Marine Road on Sunday.
On Saturday, Scarborough recovered from a perilous position to register a thumping 136-run win over visitors Sessay.
The hosts slipped to 17-3 before Schaper and Ed Hopper led a partial recovery before the latter fell for a well compiled 28.
Hayden Williamson fell soon after to leave them on 59-5 as Sessay seamer Stuart Peirse took 3-40.

However, the visitors' batting line-up was ripped apart the hosts seam attack.
Guy Emmett made the initial breakthrough in the first over before Pat Roberts (2-6) bagged a brace.
But, the star of the show was left-arm paceman Dan Robson who, in a remarkable 31-ball spell, claimed astonishing figures of 5-9 as Sessay slumped to just 47 all out in 20.1 overs.
Sunday's game against Grange was a reduced 34-over game due to sea-mist delaying the start until 2pm.
The hosts, who made four changes to the previous day's line-up, won the toss before the mist descended and had elected to bat.
Scarborough lost early wickets, slipping to 42-3 as Josh Jackson took 3-35 but Schaper proved again his undoubted quality, quickly assessing the situation.
Firstly, he put on 97 for the fourth wicket with Brad Milburn in just 15 overs.
Milburn, who came into the side for the match, batted superbly, even outscoring the young South African before being dismissed for 57 from 52 deliveries.
