Played at Cranfield Oval, the Coyotes were reeling at 6-81 in pursuit of 172 before Bushell and Ashton combined and blasted their side to a four-wicket win.
Bushell (62 not out) was the rock at the top of the innings and found no real support until Ashton, the Coyotes captain, made his way to the crease.
Ashton finished on 58 not out belting eight fours and two sixes. Earlier, Coyotes new ball bowler Jason Hall (3-11) piled on the pressure to pick up three wickets while Kris Scelly (4-48) reaped the rewards as well.
The Blues appeared to be on target for a score above 200, however at one stage lost 4-0 as Hall ripped through the middle order in his second spell.
In Division Two, the Criterion Gunners beat Cootamundra Magpies, S and C Club went down to Temora Ex-Services, while Burranongong defeated Temora Tigers.
