Bath opened the door for Sale in the race for the final Premiership play-off place after losing a 14-point lead to only claim a draw at Saracens.
Needing a bonus-point win to guarantee a top-four finish, the visitors went 14-0 up with tries from Beno Obano and Ben Spencer inside the first quarter.
Rhys Priestland's penalty took them 17-3 clear but the relegated champions hit back in their final game of the season.
A penalty try and Tim Swinson's score allowed Manu Vunipola to snatch a draw.
It means Sale can overtake Bath, who drop to fourth place, if they beat Worcester in their final game on Wednesday, postponed from Sunday after an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Sharks squad.
