Baldock's match against Cheshunt was another victim of the weather.
Julian Muir made a gritty 43 for Baldock, but his teammates struggled and they were all out for a disappointing 131 from 39 overs.
The Cheshunt reply started slowly, and they had reached 23 without loss off ten overs when the heavens opened, causing the match to be abandoned as a draw.
Baldock's next game is against Millhillians.
Meanwhile Baldock's Sunday team secured just their second win of the season against fellow strugglers Therfield.
Therfield were put into bat, and their top order were quickly sent back to the pavilion by some accurate bowling from Logan Newman and Alistair Jones.
