The hosts did eventually score on 67 minutes when Crama inadvertently bundled the ball into his own goal after Kyle Wootton's initial shot had been saved by goalkeeper Joe Whitworth.
Just minutes after hitting the post from a narrow angle, Barry was felled in the penalty box by Crama after a blistering run down the left.
The hot-shot forward coolly converted for his 14th league goal of the season.
