After Wauchope had declared their innings closed at 7/226, Harris belted 76 off 39 balls before Leagues completed the day at 4/122 after 24 overs.
It was an innings that featured eight boundaries and five sixes and RSL captain Matt Day said it was a display of clean hitting.
“He was out next week anyway, so he had to make hay while the sun shone, but it was a fantastic innings,” he said.
Despite the impressiveness of the knock, Day felt his side could have bowled a little better.
“Timmy was on fire, but we didn’t bowl fantastic.”

With the bat, the captain was impressed to have contributions all the way down the order.
Rob Parker hit a composed 47 at the top of the innings, along with Nathan Lyon (40), Matt Miller (38) and Ethan McKenna (49).
“The only disappointing thing, if you look it that way, would be that no-one went on with it; there was a big score for one of them if they wanted it,” Day said.
