Both had come off the bench in Friday’s 6-0 home defeat by Spain, in which 20-year-old Boyle made his first appearance for the U21s in a competitive game.
Northern Ireland quickly set about trying to end on a positive result and broke the deadlock after 17 minutes.
Nottingham Forest youth player Taylor drilled home from 18 yards but Lithuania pushed for an equaliser after the break.
Northern Ireland came close to a second and John McGovern’s effort was saved in stoppage-time. This proved crucial as the hosts fashioned a final opening and it was all Tutyskinas needed.
