The visitors rolled the hosts by an impressive 10 wickets.
After heading to the middle first, an under-strength Singleton quickly slumped to 3-3 following the departures of Greg Thrift, Isaac Barry and Alex Thrift.
While opener Ashley Borg (18) and Nic Stokes (19) stayed solid, the side was bundled out for 93.
Gavin Newton-Smith captured 4-14 and Lachlan Cheshire snared 3-15 in a brilliant spell of bowling.
Upper Hunter reached the target with little fanfare, as Broque Smith and Jake Duffin remained unbeaten on 62 and 27 respectively.
Sam Barry toiled well with 0-12.
