Lambert’s score cancelled out Reece Nikitaras’s ton as Oak Flats set a total of 7-245 from 50 overs.
The victorious run chase was sparked by a first wicket partnership between Lambert and Tony McCabe.
McCabe’s aggressive 83 included 16 fours, before he was finally caught with the score at 149.
Meanwhile, The Rail continued their winning ways, scoring a run-a-ball 6-240 to beat Kiama.
Without the talented Randall Starr, Mark Brockman was the spearhead of Kiama’s cause with 59, while Zac Parker made 48 in their total of 7-237. Gerringong’s Scott Brown and captain Manning Berry each produced centuries as they defeated Shellharbour by 92 runs.
On Sunday, South Coast Crew defeated the ACT Aces by nine wickets in the opening Regional Bash Twenty20 match. Andy Twyford starred for the Crew, picking up 5-7 in restricting ACT to 93.
