Three of the division one games were decided by two shots or less, with two of those matches won by lower-ranked sides.
Seventh-placed Castlemaine at home held off Kangaroo Flat 70-68 to win its second game of the season.
And for the second time this season Eaglehawk and Bendigo were separated by just one shot.
When they first met in round three Eaglehawk won 68-67.
This time though it was Bendigo that came out on top, scraping home 70-69 to strengthen its grip on second spot.
Inglewood edged out Golden Square 68-66 in a result that cost Square the chance of moving back into the top four.
And in the only blowout result of the day, Bendigo East belted Woodbury by 37 shots in the clash of top v bottom. The Beasties romped home 95-58.
