The game then swung dramatically as the hosts scored twice in two minutes through Cory Knight and Jordan Schofield round the hour mark to level the tie up.
Manager Wayne Benn responded by bringing on introduced Szymon Czubik and Matty Hughes and this re-energised the visitors who went back ahead when Hughes cut inside from the left to plant a shot into the bottom corner of the net.
Richard Collier then put the seal on a 4-2 victory with a fine free-kick.
