Nitro started on the back foot when they went behind to Jonathan Pawson's strike, but went in level at the break thanks to a goal from Stuart Sadler.
The second half saw Nitro come alive and soon went ahead through Andy Broderick, followed by a superb overhead kick from the aptly-named Louis Volley.
Humberston put on the pressure and scored a second through David Dyer, with a little help from Nitro 'keeper Lee Hanrahan, who knocked the ball onto the post and into the goal.
