Northampton need a point from their match with MK Dons on Tuesday to ensure their League One safety after a nervy win over already-relegated Hereford.
Andy Holt crashed a shot past Hungarian goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi at the back post as the Cobblers went ahead.
Steve Guinan then smacked a volley off the woodwork before Andy Williams equalised with a dipping 30-yard shot.
But Adebayo Akinfenwa teed up Jason Crowe to drill in from the edge of the box and win it for Northampton.
