Elsewhere in the division, Airdrieonians and Alloa Athletic drew 2-2.
In League Two, Stirling Albion and Clyde won but fellow promotion hopefuls Stenhousemuir lost 2-1 at home to bottom side Cowdenbeath.
Clyde were 3-0 winners away to Edinburgh City while Stirling won 2-0 at Elgin City.
Ayr moved into a two-goal lead at Cliftonhill through efforts by Craig Moore and Jamie Adams.
Kane Hester's strike reduced the hosts' deficit before half-time and Alan Trouten levelled matters from close range in the second period.
