Bridlington won the battle of the Yorkshire Coast in the YPN Championship while Scarborough march on after another victory.
Bridlington batted first against rivals Folkton & Flixton and found themselves at 0.1, 39/2 then 55/3.
However, a 114-run partnership from wicket-keeper Steven Pockley (69) and Josh Garbutt (85 not out) tipped the game in Brid's favour.
Andy Smith's turbo-charged 51 not out from just 22 balls, including five sixes, helped the hosts to a formidable 287/5 from 45 overs.
Jack Walmsley was the pick of the visitors' bowlers with 1/22 from ten overs- Jack Stephenson took 3/72.
The Villagers were up against it throughout their reply and never got near their opponents' total, instead settling for batting out a losing draw, scrapping hard to make 184/9.
Piet Rinke's Scarborough continued their strong season in the YPN Premier after winning comfortably at Acomb on Saturday.
Batting first, the visitors started brightly with wicket-keeper Duncan Brown making a breezy 44 from 56 balls.
Briedyn Schaper anchored the innings with 112, but it looked as though the innings was faltering at 140-5, however, enter Linden Gray who put on 113 with Schaper for the sixth wicket as Boro posted 253/6 from their 50 overs.
Rinke and Guy Emmett helped stem runs early in Acomb's reply as the hosts faltered to 64/4.
Adam Newington took 2/26 and Schaper took the ball and racked up 4/29 as the hosts subsided to 153 all out in 41 overs.
The 100-run win means Scarborough sit third in the table.
Whitby suffered another defeat despite a much-improved batting display at home to league leaders Bishop Auckland in North Yorkshire South Durham Division One.
Batting first, the hosts put on 135 for the third wicket after a decent start- opener Lewis Brearley (93) combining with skipper Kai Morris (70).
Alf Jacobs hit a useful unbeaten 30 as the hosts posted 245/4 from their 50 overs.
Bishops raced to their total helped by a mammoth 180-run opening partnership.
Only Ricky Hall and Alf Jacobs got wickets as the table-toping visitors raced to an eight-wicket win with more than 16 overs remaining.
Winless Whitby remain second-from-bottom in the league table.
