The Shakers strengthened their grip on third place as Lowe converted a 71st-minute spot-kick to register his 13th goal of the season and Bury's seventh win in eight.[LNB]The hosts dominated the first half, with Andy Morrell testing Shrews goalkeeper David Button, while Ben Futcher headed against the crossbar from Mike Jones' left-wing cross.[LNB]Graham Coughlan then blocked Lowe's low cross before Terry Dunfield had to head behind after Futcher headed a Brian Barry-Murphy free-kick across goal.[LNB]Coughlan was alert again to clear off the line after Lowe's shot beat Button. But the Shrews responded after the break with Coughlan heading over,[LNB]while Dunfield tested keeper Wayne Brown with a long-range effort.[LNB]Shakers' skipper Stephen Dawson then went down under a challenge by Kevin McIntyre and Lowe stroked in the spot-kick. Button saved from Jones and sub Andy Bishop as Bury pushed for a clincher but Brown also had to deny Steve Leslie late on.[LNB][LNB]
