The Shrimps took the lead three minutes before the break when Ryan Cooney's cross was met by Wildig and his downward header squirmed underneath Lawlor.
The Latics evened it up in the 52nd minute when Conor McAleny drove his seventh goal of the season into the corner from 12 yards after Dylan Fage's cross had not been cleared.
However, the visitors went back in front when Alex Kenyon headed home Wildig's corner-kick.
It was 3-1 in the 66th minute when Cole Stockton powered home a header to convert O'Sullivan's cross.
McAleny's header from substitute Dylan Bahamboula's cross late on was mere consolation as the Latics could not find a leveller.
