South Australia's Jake Fraser-McGurk has set a world record for the fastest century in a 50-over cricket match but it was not enough to stop Tasmania defeating the Redbacks by 37 runs in the Marsh Cup.
After being sent in to bat at Karen Rolton Oval on Sunday, the Tigers broke the competition record for largest total, with captain Jordan Silk contributing 116 runs of their 9-435.
Tasmania's effort was 15 runs greater than the 420 South Australia managed against the Cricket Australia XI in 2016.
But a hot start from Fraser-McGurk put the Redbacks in position to make history themselves.
Despite never having scored a century in any form before Sunday, he needed only 29 balls to reach triple figures, two fewer than South African great AB de Villiers in an ODI in 2015.
Fraser-McGurk admitted he'd never batted quite like he did against the Tigers.
"Maybe in a video game or something but definitely not in real life, that's for sure," he said.
"I just went out there with good intent and had my plans and my processes and it seemed like everything went my way."
In total, the 21-year-old smacked 23 boundaries, 13 of which were sixes. Prior to Sunday, he had only hit 18 sixes in the 49 games of his professional career.
"It's probably an innings I'll never see maybe ever again," said Silk.
"It was some of the cleanest ball-striking I've seen and sometimes you've just got to tip your cap to players like that that can do that.
"Whilst it was frustrating to watch it was also amazing to watch."
Fraser-McGurk's formidable innings finally came to an end when he hit Beau Webster's off-spin to mid-wicket and was caught by Jake Weatherald.
Without him, the Redbacks were never able to fully take advantage of a flat pitch and short boundaries.
Allrounder Mitchell Owen was the pick of the bowlers for Tasmania, taking 3-46 including Daniel Drew (52) and Jake Lehmann (35) before they could truly kick on.
"I was really proud of how (the bowlers) went after that initial onslaught," Silk said.
The Redbacks were all out for 398 in the 47th over, which was still the fifth-highest total in Marsh Cup history and the largest one not to win.
Earlier, Silk helped steady Tasmania's ship after the loss of openers Caleb Jewell (90) and Jake Weatherald (35) in the space of two overs.
On a day of carnage, the 31-year-old showed his maturity by moving slowly through the nervous 90s before launching into party mode after passing triple figures.
"I'm absolutely rapt with making 100," Silk said of his first List A century.
"I feel like I placed the ball really well today and that was able to keep me on track with a good strike rate."
His innings came to a halt in the 45th over, when he attempted to slog McAndrew for a 15th boundary but was caught by Ben Manenti at deep midwicket.
