Despite being two goals down at the break, the visitors came out fighting and began to claw their way back into the game.
Tom Mills powered a header just over the bar from a corner before John Hall burst clear of the defence and shot narrowly wide.
Northants created one clear-cut chance after the interval when Josh Davies saw his effort come back off an upright.
Meanwhile, home goalkeeper Ashley Robinson was being kept busy and Hunts eventually pulled back a goal through a Jamie Osborne free-kick after 74 minutes
Ten minutes, later the scores were level when defender James Curran headed in a Ben Colmer corner to earn the visitors a draw they thoroughly deserved for their battling performance.
