The 20-year-old midfielder gave further evidence of his precocious talent with a superb first-half treble but it was not enough to move Gary Ablett's men off the foot of the table as the Trotters came from behind on three occasions before snatching a winner two minutes from time.
It means last season's champions remain rooted to the foot of the Barclays Premier Reserve League North table with just two matches remaining.
It was a hugely frustrating night for Ablett and co but there were still some positives to be taken from the display, with Spearing adding weight to his claims for more first-team involvement following his impressive cameo against Real Madrid in March.
On an evening bathed in warm sunshine, it had started so well for the home side too, when Spearing latched onto a well weighted pass and coolly slipped the ball beyond Ali Al Habsi on three minutes.
It was a goal that seemed to leave the visitors in a daze and it could have got much worse for them soon after with Gerardo Bruna crashing a long range effort off the bar before Spearing drilled just wide of target.
There was certainly a renewed sense of optimism in the Warrington air, but that would ultimately be short-lived as Ariza Makukula took advantage of a misplaced pass from Stephen Darby to power in on goal and clip a sublime finish beyond Martin Hansen to level.
Fifteen minutes in and the game was now keenly poised.
A corner from the right saw Godwin Antwi head just over while Andras Simon's clever one-two gave him a sight of goal but his effort failed to match the clever approach play.
Liverpool continued to look the more likely and Al Habsi got down well to palm Dani Pacheco's low free-kick past the post.
As the half wore on a Reds second looked more and more likely and it was no surprise when Spearing grabbed his second of the match on 26 minutes.
The midfield dynamo orchestrated the move from the off, exchanging a series of passes with Victor Palsson and Pacheco before powering onto Nemeth's dummy and gleefully steering a low effort into the bottom corner.
Such was Spearing's impact on the first 45 that he almost conjured a third with a delicious pass for Nemeth but the Hungarian took too long to compose himself and the chance went begging.
It would be a miss that the hosts would later rue as the Trotters pulled level for a second time five minutes before the interval when Cohen nodded in a corner.
Most supporters inside the Halliwell Jones Stadium would have assumed that would be the end of the scoring in the first-half, but Liverpool had other ideas.
A surging move down the left saw Darby pick out Nemeth who appeared to be caught as he turned in the area. The referee pointed to the spot and up stepped Spearing to complete his hat-trick and cap a magnificent individual display.
It had been a highly entertaining first period and the Reds looked to continue their attacking policy as the second 45 got underway, with Simon seeing two good efforts flash just wide.
The away side looked most threatening from set pieces and could have drawn level on the hour mark but for the intervention of that man Spearing.
Not content with putting the Bolton rearguard to the sword, the midfielder produced a goal-line clearance Jamie Carragher would have been proud of when he dived full-stretch to block Ebi Smolarek's shot after Martin Hansen was caught in no man's land after misreading a long ball.
However, not even Spearing could prevent the visitors from drawing level for a third time on 65 minutes when a scramble in the Reds area saw Makukula hit the bar before bundling home from close range.
Both sides then had chances to win it, but as the clock ticked down it was Bolton who snatched victory when Makukula seized on a defensive mix-up to claim both his hat-trick and the three points.
