Despite 39 from Shawn Higgins and 34 from David Sloane, the hosts were dismissed for 9/149 thanks to four wickets from Tom Purcell.
The Bay made light work of the chase, reaching the target in the 32nd over, largely due to Jamie Dufield’s quickfire 89 not out.
He was supported well by skipper Pat Griffin, who finished with 25 not out.

Duggan capped off an excellent match with the ball, taking 5/10 in the second innings.
