No Wrexham players were able to meet Barnett's excellent 55th-minute cross, with Mark Howard then failing to control Matty James' pass when well placed.
Barnett's cross before the hour evaded Paul Mullin and James McClean, but Barnett broke the deadlock by cutting inside and fizzing a low effort home via a deflection.
Silko Thomas' cross was nodded home by Hugill to equalise on 80 minutes, but Fletcher chested down McClean's cross and fired past diving Sam Tickle into the bottom corner to net the late winner.
