Ryan Carter jogged in shortly after kick-off to give Barum an ideal start, and Brock added the second try when he was first to reach a grubber kick from Steve Perry.
While Brock was being taken away in an ambulance, the other players completed the first half on one of the back pitches at Pottington Road, where Will Topps ran in unopposed for the third try.
Back on the main pitch for the second half, Luke Berry, who also kicked three conversions, scored the bonus-point try from a good handling move.
Winston James then drove over, before Topps broke through a tackle in the final play of the game to score his second try.
Exeter University, the Tribute Devon One leaders, were too strong for South Molton, winning 45-10.

Totnes, who have taken second place, were 17-8 winners at Donnacroft against Torrington.
Ilfracombe conceded their Devon Two match at Old Technicians as they were unable to raise a team.
