An excellent bowling display helped Baldock get back to winning ways with a convincing victory over Old Haberdashers on Saturday.
Having won the toss and electing to field, Baldock's opening bowlers Alistair Jones and Logan Newman gave very little away in the first few overs.
The pressure eventually told and once the first batsman had been dismissed further wickets tumbled quickly to leave Old Haberdashers on 40-6.
Despite some determined resistance from their skipper Gelber, the visitors could muster only a total 65 all out from 22 overs.
Jones bowled excellently to finish with 4-22 off 21 overs, while Newman (3-17) and Dean (2-19) both posted decent figures.
Despite losing an early wicket, 35 not out from Rob Cant saw Baldock home inside 22 overs.
