As the Stags looked to turn the screw Jordan Bowery brought a save from Glenn Morris, who also twice denied George Lapslie.
Morris also kep out a Maris effort while the Mansfield man was involved at the other end, blocking Dannie Bulman's low effort.
The second half began with Marek Stech tipping Bulman's effort over, but he couldn't prevent Max Watters levelling four minutes after the re-start.

Tom Dallison's volley and then Watters' looping effort from the edge of the box made it 3-1 with 59 minutes gone.
In between those goals, Morris denied Jamie Reid's low drive.
