John Askey’s side fell behind towards the end of the first half when Callum Camps converted from the penalty spot after ex-County striker Connor Jennings had bundled him over in the area.
But Hartlepool were not to go quietly from League Two as they made a fist of things in the second half and equalised through a fine strike from Callum Cooke who curled in from the edge of the area.
Pools had the returning Ben Killip to thank for a series of superb saves in the second half and he would cap the display by denying Camps from 12-yards deep into second half stoppage time after Stockport were awarded a fortunate second penalty.
And here is how Pools were rated in their final EFL game:
