The Ballarat Cricket Association district division one reigning premier made 192 on day one of the two-day clash and then made light work of the Buninyong batsmen, who fell 61 runs short of the target.
Lucas snared the wicket of Jacob Butterworth in a three-over stint late on the opening day and didn't allow the Bunnies to build too many meaningful partnerships during their run chase.
Dale Harris made 22 in the top order and Daniel Kitchen an unbeaten 55 through the middle, but it was all in vain as the visitors limped to 132 before being bowled out in the 53rd over.
The wickets were shared around by the Lucas bowlers, with Steve Barnett (3-25), Aaron Mann (2-13), Adam Wright (2-16) and Brad Allan (2-29) the multiple wicket-takers.
VRI Delacombe still sits unbeaten at the top of the ladder after completing a comfortable run chase against the winless Dunnstown.
Captain James Nichols top-scored with 51 as VRI reached 5-174 at stumps.
Ballan needed just nine more runs to complete a first innings victory against Burrumbeet on Saturday and did so before batting out the innings.
The visiting side resumed day two on 4-66 chasing Burrumbeet's 74 and was bowled out for 161.
