A few minutes later Brad Thomas scored after a deflection making it 1-1.
The rest of the first half, and start of the second half were uneventful before Michael Pook scored on 59 minutes from just inside the area with a powerful shot making it 2-1 to the away side.
Boston rarely looked like getting any more goals, and it wasn't until Blair Sturrock was bought on with two minutes of normal time remaining that he scored his first goal for the club within seconds of coming on after a close range shot after a Swindon corner.
Overall a fairly average game, but a good derserved win for Swindon who stay in 2nd place ahead of next Saturday's home game with Macclesfield.
