Ben Tozer came into the Cobblers side for the trip to Morecambe with Leon McSweeney dropping to the bench.
Chris Wilder was forced into making a change after just 15 minutes, Gary Deegan replacing Chris Hackett.
The first real opportunity of the afternoon went to the Cobblers with Emile Sinclair's parried shot not quite falling for Ian Morris.
Padraig Amond struck the post for Morecambe on 26 minutes before at the other end a cross from Alan Connell just eluded Sinclair.
The Cobblers had the lead just before half-time, Sinclair's cross sliced into his own net by Morecambe defender Andrew Wright.
