Richard Butcher lobbed in the opener from 20 yards out after an error from Morecambe's Stewart Drummond on the edge of his own box.

The match turned with the introduction of winger Garry Thompson, whose pace caused County all manner of problems.

Baker's 72nd-minute strike hauled the Shrimps level and Thompson went close to winning the match near the end but saw his shot flash just wide.
