Jung made 149 with the bat with openers Sam Leith (34 runs) and Brett Jensz (40) top scoring.
In the run chase, Laharum were guided by David Griffiths (40) and Jake Hinton (38), but nobody else in the top eight made more than six runs.
Eight wickets down and with three overs left Laharum needed 20 runs for victory.
But some terrific bowling at the death from Jung’s Martyn Knight and David Puls slowed them, as Laharum finished eight runs short at 9-141.
Jung captain Angus Adams said Puls and Knight were keys to victory.
“We didn’t have either of them last week. They were back in and it really showed, it was probably why we got the win,” Adams said.
Rup-Minyip continued their good form with a six wicket win against the West Wimmera Warriors.
The Warriors made 5-101 in the first innings, led by Michael (34) and Louis Preston (38 not out). But Rup-Minyip chased it down with relative ease, finishing with six wickets and two overs to spare.
Blake Turner top scored with 28 not out while Mark Mbofana scored 27.
Homers defeated the Horsham Saints, holding them to 5-92 in the first innings before chasing it down with nine wickets and four overs to spare.
Adam Atwood (48 not out) and Jarred Combe (34 not out) did the damage.
