Blackheath-Dimboola were able to advance passed Bullants in a thrilling encounter at Sunnyside.
Bullants made a tidy 149 on day-one thanks largely to Ben Anson's 49. On day two, Blackheath-Dimboola were in a reasonable place at 3-96. But wickets began to fall and they found themselves eight down needing 12 more runs.
The tail-order were able to bravely withstand the pressure. Heith Mibus scored the winning runs as they came home winners with two wickets to spare and just three overs left in the day.
Meanwhile Colts easily accounted for Lubeck-Murtoa, setting up the win with an impressive performance on day one.
Lubeck-Murtoa batted first and struggled against Colts' potent bowling attack. Liam Jakobi (3-32) took the important early wickets of Graeme Reddie, Shannon Reddie and Brey Cullinan, and the Mudlarks struggled to put together partnerships from there.
They finished all out for 104 after just 47 overs, and Colts used the remainder of the day to put the game almost out of reach.
Openers Dylan Arnott and Nathan Keel lead them to 0-76, and on day two the side dropped just three wickets before reaching their target and winning the match.
In C Grade, Homers demolished Blackheath-Dimboola, making 4-248 before bowling their opponents out for just 86.
Colts will join them in the grand final after a much tighter semi-final win against Rup-Minyip. Jeremy Newell (26) and Logan Miller (20) were the main men for Colts as they chased down Rup-Minyip's total of 107 with just three wickets to spare.
