All-rounder Taylor then starred with 71 as the visitors comfortably made it to 155-4 off 32.4, Joe Maltby claiming 3-39 for the hosts.
After a nightmare beginning to the day promoted Mold recovered to make a winning start to life back in the Premier.
Invited to bat, the Flintshire side found themselves 36-5 before Richard Crane (48) and Munowar Samsodien (38) steadied the ship, then number 10 Ian Noonan made it a much happier voyage with an unbeaten 49 off 43 balls before the visitors were all out for 206 off 48.1 overs.
Jack Billington took 3-29, Cai Pearson 2-34 and Neil Pearson 2-38 for the hosts, who were sent packing for 177 in reply, having been 155-5.
Opener Kastun Stoute posted 43 and Billington 34, Samsodien 3-47 and George Godwin 2-16 for the travellers, who also pulled off two crucial run-outs.
Bowlers have generally had a good time of it so far this season, but that was certainly not the case at Tyn-y-Caeau on Saturday.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, Menai Bridge amassed a huge total of 385-8 off 50 overs, Ayush Verma hitting his top-score for the club of 121 off 74 balls, including 10 sixes and seven fours.

Verma and Matthew Jones put on 162 for the fourth wicket, Matthew Jones and Roberts added 62 for the fifth and Roberts and Robbie Jones 83 for the seventh.
For Park, Michael Wootton took 3-79 and Evan Shaw 2-39, but Tom Norris will quickly want to forget his analysis of five overs for 74 runs.
In response, Hawarden finished on 227-7, New Zealander Jacob Duker 91 and forming a 123 stand with fellow opener Campbell Marr (29), while Shaw made 38, Matthew Jones 3-26 from 10 for the hosts, who won by 158 runs.

Denbigh’s effort of 151-9 off 50 overs proved enough to get their league campaign off to a victorious start at Flint Road.
Deciding to bat first, the visitors’ top-scorer was Sam Lewis with 35, Shay Williams 3-23 off 10 and Sion Morris 2-16 for the home team.
Northop could only muster 138, Leo Greig 40, Shaun Nash 3-21, Stuart Griffiths 2-20 and Harrison Jones 2-22 for the winners.
