Carlisle are now within touching distance of retaining their Cumbria League Premier Division crown.
For while they were beating Whitehaven at Edenside nearest rivals Furness, as well as third-placed Workington were foiled by the weather.
Carlisle inserted Whitehaven and bowled them out for 122 in 49.3 overs.
Whitehaven professional Terance Warde stood firm, holding the innings together with an unbeaten 55.
Chris Blythe, in a fine 10 over spell, took 5-12 while Fraser Conn had 3-32.
Rain did intervene but not enough to cause any abandonment and with a revised target of 119 Carlisle got home with five wickets to spare and in the 31st over.
Marc Brown (52no), Michael Slack (26) and Nico Watt (24) did the bulk of the work at the top of the order.

Nathan Waterston was 58 not out; pro Yash Dubey had made 41 and Mark Daley scored 30. Aseem Wadhwa took 4-39 for Lindal.
Workington fared even worse as they travelled to bottom side Haverigg and were unable to make a start.
The outfield was very wet and just before they were about to get underway the rain arrived and that was it.
Cleator, the third team in trouble at the bottom just above Lindal and Haverigg, did play and were beaten – but still picked-up a point more than their rivals.
They earned five points in defeat in a game which required a revised target to determine the result.
