At 95 for one Northants looked on their way to victory, but some tight bowling and fielding saw the runs dry up and the pressure build.
Needing four an over from the last five overs, Northants struggled and began to lose wickets.
With three required from the last over, spinner Taylor West took a vital wicket only for Northants to score the winning run from the final ball.
