Torquay United manager Jimmy Ball praised the "professional" way in which his side beat AFC Stoneham 6-1 in the FA Cup.
The Gulls were always in control of their second qualifying round tie against a side that plays two divisions below them in Isthmian League South Central.
Callum Morton gave the Gulls a sixth-minute lead before Beaumont-Clark's long-range effort made it 2-0 after 36 minutes.
Stoneham struck back seconds later through Tom Annetts, but Sonny-Blu Lo-Everton scored twice late in the first half as Torquay went into the break 4-1 up.
The midfielder fired in from the edge of the box after 43 minutes before finishing well from a stoppage-time corner.
Lo-Everton completed his hat-trick midway through the second half before Cody Cooke rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
"Out attitude was good, mentality was good throughout, that's all I wanted really," Ball told BBC Radio Devon.
"I thought that if we did that and did it properly and acted in a professional, humble manner, we would be fine.
