The Englishman accumulated the points over five races but none of his six other teammates managed to reach double-figures.
Scots, beaten at Redcar Bears on Thursday, slipped to a 53-39 defeat at Newcastle Diamonds.
Tigers started well, drawing the first two heats 3-3 but went 23-13 behind after the sixth race following three 4-2 and a 5-1 as Diamonds found their cutting edge.
They never looked back and Robert Lambert led the charge for the home side with 14 points with experienced Stuart Robson and ex-Edinburgh Monarchs star Steve Worrall, Richie’s twin brother, both collecting 11 points.
