The Seasiders broke the deadlock after just three minutes. A free kick into the box from Jordan Brown was met by Olly Casey - who powered a header past Sam Tickle.
A golden opportunity almost came Ashley Fletcher’s way to make it 2-0 ahead of the half hour mark, but the striker’s first touch let him down after a loose back pass from Will Aimson.
Wigan pulled themselves level in the 39th minute. In their first real period of pressure, the visitors were able to open up Ian Evatt’s side, with a low-driven shot from Moxon beating Bailey Peacock-Farrell from the edge of the box.
Joe Taylor almost edged the visitors in front at the beginning of the second half. From a tight angle, an attempt from the forward hit the inside of the back post, before rolling to safety for Blackpool.
Brown was able to force Tickle into a save heading into the closing stages, with the Latics keeping punching away a shot, before Hayden Coulson curled an effort off target on the rebound.
