The Numurkah opener was unstoppable on Saturday at Deakin Reserve as he guided the Blues to a 35-run victory over Central Park-St Brendan's.
Pruden smoked 10 boundaries and four sixes in his classy innings, while teammate Sean Dawson chipped in with 33 valuable runs.
The Numurkah duo put on a crucial 87-run partnership to steer its side to 3-166 from 20 overs.
In reply, the Tigers were able to get off to a terrific start and reached 49 for no loss of wicket.
But losing 4-10 hurt their hopes of claiming victory, with Numurkah's Connor Sessions (2-18) wreaking havoc with the cherry.
Sessions claimed the prized scalps of Matthew Chilcott (28 runs) and Reza Kareem (26) as the Tigers slumped to 6-131 in its run chase.
● Northerners skipper Tim Brett carved out a cracking unbeaten knock to help clinch victory for his charges.
Brett belted 81 not out as the Jets chased down Shepparton United's total of 7-126 with eight wickets in hand.
The opener batted right through the innings in what was a classic captain's knock.
Earlier in the game, teenage gun James Jarrett (54 runs) — fresh off scoring a ton at country week — produced a glorious half-century.
● Euroa got the chocolates against Nagambie in a run-scoring feast at Euroa's Friendlies Oval.
The Magpies — thanks to Ash Ellis (56 not out) and Lachie Hill (47) — chased down Nagambie's 2-171 with seven balls remaining in the match.
Nagambie's Tom Barnes (76 runs off 48 balls) and Will Baker (64 off 58) wowed onlookers with 14 boundaries and six sixes between them.
● A terrific bowling spell from Damon Zampaglione assisted Mooroopna in securing a 43-run win over Tatura.
Zampaglione collected 4-10 from four overs as the win lifted the Cats to the top of the table.
● Lastly, it was a dominant day for the bowlers at Lemnos with 20 wickets falling in the match between Pine Lodge and Katandra.
Katandra's Bailey Simpson (3-10), Josh McKinnon (3-21) and Andrew Nicholls (2-4) tore through the Lodgers’ line-up to dismiss the hosts for 104.
However, the home side's Travis Waters (3-17) and Devinder Singh (2-11) bowled beautifully to skittle Katandra for 83.
And a fine 42-run knock from Paul Wickham guided Karramomus to a seven-wicket win over Kyabram.
Teammate Declan Moreno enjoyed a day out with the ball and picked up 3-15 from three overs.
