Lavery levelled in first-half stoppage time as he poked home Dan Scarr's searching cross.
Luke James, a bright spark throughout at Holker Street, capped a fine performance with a stunning strike that nestled in the top scorer in the 50th minute.
But Walsall got a penalty of their own when Taylor hauled down Zak Jules and Lavery stroked home from the spot.
Emmanuel Osadebe almost stole the spoils for the Saddlers late on when he hit the post.
