Following a quiet start, Baldwin made the most of a loose ball in the box as he fired home from close range after 25 minutes.
The defender almost doubled Bradford's lead, with a headed attempt from a corner going just over the crossbar.
The Seasiders pulled themselves level in the 56th minute as Fletcher finished calmly following an impressive ball over the top from Andy Lyons.
Just over 10 minutes later, Graham Alexander's side edged their way back in front, with Will Swan capitalising on a mistake at the back before slotting past Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
