Back at the top of the order, Neville ended a lean run of form with an imposing 130.
Sent into bat, the Jung Tigers quickly had Blackheath-Dimboola skipper Robert Somers questioning the decision.
Neville and Josiah Mock (20) crafted a 59-run opening stand, before Mock's dismissal ushered more headaches for the hosts.
Samuel Leith joined Neville at the crease, the pair capitalising on favourable conditions.
Neville's eventual dismissal brought to a close a 152-run partnership for the second wicket, but Leith ensured the onslaught continued.
Leith finished the innings undefeated on 76 to see the visitors post a first innings score of 2/256.
Blackheath-Dimboola recovered from 2/21 early to take the fight to the Jung Tigers' bowling attack.
Brodie Cramer (59) and Mick McGough (18) were resolute in the middle of the order and kept their side in with a chance.
McGough was the first to fall, before Cramer's dismissal triggered a collapse.
Blackheath-Dimboola's last six wickets fell for nine runs, with Josh Lees the main culprit.
Lees finished with figures of 5/19, having ended the game with the first ball of his last over.
Elsewhere, Tyler Neville was joined in the centurions' club by Ben Peucker, whose quickfire 115 helped Laharum to a 15-run win against the Horsham Saints.
The Saints were in high spirits, with their opponents in trouble at 3/36, before Peucker strode to the crease.
The left-hander soon had 20 runs to his name after his first six balls.
Peucker was well supported by captain Daniel Griffiths (50) but could have been back in the sheds had the Saints taken a golden chance.
A hoick to deep midwicket was dropped and allowed to trickle over the boundary, taking Peucker to his half-century.
Peucker's dismissal in the 39th over came too late for the Saints, Laharum posting a commanding 220.
The Saints were strangled early by accurate bowling and energetic fielding but managed to build a platform.
The Saints needed 138 runs off the final 20 overs, with nine wickets in hand.
The middle-order made starts but lost their wickets at inopportune times, leaving opener Gary Davidson to marshall the chase.
When Davidson departed for 94 with seven balls remaining the Saints' best chance of victory went with him.
Elsewhere, Homers beat Colts by seven wickets and Noradjuha-Toolondo saw off Rup-Minyip by five wickets.
