The Blues had a 96th-minute Layton Watts penalty to thank as they leapfrogged rivals Matlock Town.
The Derbyshire side lost to a late strike themselves after leading early on.
Whitby's trip to Lancaster City was a dull affair for most of the afternoon.
Both sides were fixated with not conceding, though it was the North West outfit who had most of the first half possession.
Defender Frankie Whelan came close in the second half before Adam Gell was felled in the City box deep into added time.
Watts then stepped up calmly to smash the resulting penalty into the roof of the net as Town won 1-0:
