He gained support from No.3 Robbie Clarke who struck 62 while Alex Ramsay chipped in with 37.
Sadaf Hussein and Mark Robinson then joined forces to complete another impressive day at the office for Oswestry.
Opening bowler Hussein bagged 5-71 from 14 overs while Robinson picked up 4-52 as Old Elizabethans fell for 219.
The victory leaves Oswestry 30 points clear of second-placed Wombourne.

Newport then lost three early wickets but Hasnain and Mark Downes joined forces to see them to victory with Hasnain ending unbeaten on 108 and Downes 59 not out.
