John Askey remains unbeaten in eight games as Hartlepool manager after Nicky Featherstone scored early in the second half to cancel out Danny Rose’s header.
Both sides lay claim to a winner in the closing stages with neither able to take their opportunities as the points were shared at the Suit Direct Stadium.
It’s a result which moves Pools out of the bottom two with five games to play.
And here’s how they fared:
13. Wes McDonald - 7
Not as significant an impact as recent weeks but still a threat and caused Stevenage problems. A great weapon in Hartlepool’s arsenal at the moment. A big factor in why they are finishing games strongly. (Photo: Mark Fletcher | MI News) Photo: Mark Fletcher
14. Oliver Finney - NA
One good opportunity when coming on from Jennings’ back heel but he refused an effort at goal before getting things all wrong to win it in stoppage time. Brilliant run, picked out by Umerah, but opted to take a touch and lost control of it. Huge chance. (Photo: Michael Driver | MI News) Photo: Michael Driver
15. Tom Crawford - NA
Brought a good save from Lo-Tutala late on with a well-placed strike. Still a little rusty in terms of his match sharpness which is to be expected. (Photo: Chris Donnelly | MI News) Photo: Chris Donnelly
