Stockport claimed an impressive win at League Two champions Leyton Orient to keep alive their hopes of snatching automatic promotion.
Goals from Akil Wright, Callum Camps and Connor Evans secured the win for County who moved to within two points of third-placed Northampton who lost at home to Bradford.
County host already-relegated Hartlepool on the final day of the season, while Northampton go to mid-table Tranmere.
Chris Hussey collected the ball following a corner that was only half-cleared and curled a cross into the box for the unmarked Wright to head home from close range.
Five minutes later, County doubled their advantage when Camps seized on Isaac Olaofe's cross from the left and sent a 20-yard shot past keeper Lawrence Vigouroux.
Orient's only shot in the first half, in which they were totally outmanoeuvred, came in added time when Tom James drilled a free-kick into the hands of Ben Hinchcliffe.
The hosts showed more spirit and energy after the break and George Moncur and James both tested Hinchcliffe.
However, County put the issue to bed in the 81st minute when Hussey curled in a free-kick which substitute Evans headed home.
