But after Terry Hawkridge netted before the break, former Mariner Michael Leary – who also scored in Gainsborough's 2-0 victory over Barrow in the quarter-final stage – put Trinity 2-1 up on the day.
Wrexham's Joe Clarke cleared off the line amid seven, tense minutes of second-half stoppage time as Andy Morrell's men held on.
