Rackheath continued to chase Loddon's total down with confidence, taking the total to 44 when Baker managed to get M Rymarz bowled in the 15th over.
S Rymarz was looking good with the bat but had to retire hurt when he took a Baker short delivery on his elbow.
This turned the game in Loddon's favour and Loddon took control, quickly removing J Scarborough, R Brown, C Rymarz and JoJo from the crease through great bowling from K Jones and A Baker and solid catches from A Wells and D Debenham.
Rackheath looked rattled and gifted two consecutive wickets (P Banham and S Williams) to K Jones in the 24th over.
After a first over from D Debenham he managed to find the off stump of R Townsend, and K Jones took P Banham's wicket via a nonchalant catch from Ed Mead in the covers.
Jones finished with impressive figures of 5.4-3-3-4, Rackheath 68 all out after 27.4 overs.
