South Dubbo was incredibly bowled out for just 22 inside 14 overs at No. 3 Oval after the Cougars had posted 2/245 when batting first.
The 223-run win was loaded with highlights for the utterly dominant victors while it marked a low point in the Hornets' history.
Tom Coady made an unbeaten century for the defending premiers before Ben Knaggs (6/12) and Ben O'Donnell (4/9) made quick work of the Souths batting lineup.
"I've never been a part of anything like that before," captain Knaggs said after the win.
"It's a good feeling to bowl a team out for 22. You don't see that very often."

While the CYMS players were overjoyed to score such a crushing double bonus point win, Knaggs did have some words of encouragement for Souths.
While the men in green currently reign supreme in the first grade competition, it was less than a decade ago when they were suffering heavy defeat after heavy defeat during a season with no wins to their name.
"I know Souths have been struggling this year but hopefully they can keep their heads high," Knaggs said.
"A few years ago we struggled pretty hard and it's good to see we've progressed and are now such a good team.
"Souths, I know how they feel. It's a rebuilding phase and there's a lot of juniors coming up so if they can just stick with it then in a couple of years they'll be a lot better."
The match was one-way traffic from the start as CYMS opener Tom Barber took eight off the first over.
Barber departed soon after for 11 in what proved to be the only score under 50 for his side.
Lachlan Strachan and Coady added 65 for the second wicket before the former was runout for 53 following some handy work from Richie Richardson.
Thomas Nelson joined Coady and they combined to take the game right away from Souths.
The score was 2/117 at the 20-over halfway mark and the runs continued to flow after drinks.
Coady passed 50 and the biggest question soon became whether he would have time to reach triple figures.
But Nelson kept rotating the strike right through to the final over and on the last ball of the innings Coady punched it down the ground to reach his milestone.
"Tom Coady and 'Nelso', they kept the pressure on and kept going at that five, six or seven an over and that was unreal," Knaggs said.
"It's awesome for Tommy (Coady). He's been working hard and now he's reaping the benefits."
While CYMS had batted with relative ease, the Souths lineup was destroyed as O'Donnell and Knaggs moved the ball around.
O'Donnell removed Josh Williams (0) in the first over and from there it was a procession.
Knaggs hailed O'Donnell for the wicket-maiden to start before the captain destroyed the middle and lower order.
In total there were six ducks in the Souths lineup with the four sundries the second top score in the innings after Richardson's 7 not out.
