Just seconds after Conor McAleny's rifled shot was saved by Jackson Smith, Salford equalised as Stockton rose highest to nod home Kelly N'mai's perfect cross.
Grimsby retook the lead on the stroke of half-time when Barrington's effort took a huge deflection off Salford defender Stephan Negru and completely wrong-footed Jones.
Salford twice struck the woodwork in their pursuit of a second-half equaliser, with both Ossama Ashley and Junior Luamba seeing efforts strike a post as Grimsby held on.
