The Blues ran Championship side Ayr United close in a useful pre-season workout at Kilwinning Academy.
Sam Ashford put the Somerset Park side in front with a low strike just shy of 20 minutes into the game.
Back-to-back goals in the 67th and 68th minutes saw Stranraer take the lead and surrender it in quick fashion, with a trialist scoring from a well-worked James Hilton corner, before a mistake at the back handed Ayr an easy tap-in.
