The win came thanks to a mammoth bowling effort from captain Marc Tucker (5-35) and Justin Winkler (5-24).
The pair bowled 26 overs between them and took all 10 Digger wickets.
Tucker led from the front and captured the first four wickets of the day to reduce Diggers to 4-37.
Dean Crack (11) and Jarrod Cahill (32) combined for 25 – which was Diggers best partnership of the day – before Winkler took his first.
Wickets fell regularly and Diggers were bowled out for 110.
Exies made light work of the total. Sam Casey and Dylan Gillette made 24 runs each to start the chase off.
Phil Burge (34) then came in, top-scored and moved Exies to 110 – equalling Diggers score – before he was bowled by Scott Smith (1-13).
Tucker (4*) and Michael Shepherd (12*) then finished off the run chase and secured victory.
