Pools went behind when Luke Norris converted from the spot after Gary Liddle brought down Jamie Reid.
But Graeme Lee’s side grabbed a point when captain Nicky Featherstone found the back of the net with an excellent finish 13 minutes from time.
The home side were unable to find a winner though as they had to settle for a third straight draw at the Suit Direct Stadium.
And here is how they were rated.
