Bridgnorth made a flying start with Simon Thomas claiming the opening frame and team-mate Mick Brezwyn hitting form to take the second.
But former professional Adrian Rosa then launched the Aldridge fightback.
Rosa rolled in a break of 54 to secure victory over Gary Smith, who hit a 36.
Andy Price then beat Bridgnorth’s Chris Lewis to level the scores.
Bridgnorth rallied with Tim Steele winning frame five and were desperately close to clinching a final place, only for Michael Mancini to lose by a point to Nathan Wood.
That set up a deciding frame and it was Aldridge who were celebrating after Lee Bannister beta Paul Manning 80-45.
Bridgnorth had beaten Sedgley C, Stafford Town and Telford C to reach the last four.
