Goals from Lewis-Potter and Honeyman have the Tigers ahead at half time.
Grant McCann made just one change to the side that clinched promotion at Lincoln a week earlier, with captain Richie Smallwood making his first start since February after recovering from a knee injury. He came in for Regan Slater who dropped to the bench. For Wigan, former Tiger Will Keane was amongst the starters.
It was a fairly quiet opening few minutes from both sides, although Alfie Jones made a good block to deny Joseph Dodoo when the Wigan man got a shot away on the edge of the box.
