Mechs went to Chorley with a depleted squad and Dan Singleton made it 1-0 inside two minutes.
That's how it remained until half-time as Dan Hall clawed the ball off his line to deny the hosts a second, while at the other end Robbie Hulme had a fine chance to equalise.
However, the second half started just like the first, Singleton scoring in the opening moments with a shot which went under Hall. It was three on the hour as Michael Galliers' shot from the edge of the box took a huge deflection.
