Pikes' brave journey in the competition is over, though they equal their best run, played out in front of the BBC cameras.
Pickering's clash with NPL West Runcorn Linnets was broadcast live on iPlayer.
As a result, over 1,000 packed into Mill Lane.
Linnets led midway through the first period, with Pikes pushing more as the half wore on.
However, the Cheshire visitors made sure of the victory and progression to the penultimate qualifying round with a second goal, late on.
Tony Hackworth's Pickering side made almost £6,000 in prize money alone from their run in the competition. Boosted by TV cash, they'll be hopeful of continuing their Northern Counties East Premier promotion ambitions when they host Horbury on Tuesday, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

The Chief Constable of Humberside Police, Chris Todd, has spoken of his pride with the force having been praised in the newly published State of Policing report.
Patches of heavy rain in parts of Yorkshire over the last seven days have helped to slow the fall of groundwater and reservoir stocks, but they still declined over the last week, as water demand remained over 1.2 billion litres per day.
