Bristol Rovers' teenage substitute Sean Rigg delivered a body blow to their hopes of survival when he scored his first ever goal after being on the pitch for only two minutes.
It left Ince saying: "The boys might need some experience in the final half hour in the last game and I've been training with the team and have not ruled it out.
"But if we play like we played tonight then we'll be okay. It was a disastrous goal which deflected off Rob Scott's thigh, but we should have been up well before then."
The win, however, leaves Rovers just one point off the final play-off place and manager Paul Trollope praised his team's fighting spirit.
"This time last year we were in the middle of falling to pieces but now we are looking like a side that is coming on strong and there's no better time to hit some form," he said.
Macclesfield had the better chances in the first half but could not find the back of the net.
In the 13th minute, John Miles scuffed a drive wide, before John Murphy headed over the bar in the 21st minute.
The best chance fell to former van driver Matty McNeil, who planted a free header straight at Steve Phillips from the six-yard line.
Rovers also came close when former Silkman Rickie Lambert forced a finger-tip save from Tommy Lee with a 25-yard drive.
The visitors were unlucky not to take the lead after the break when winger Joe Jacobson rattled the upright with a 25-yard drive.
They again went close moments later when Lewis Haldane forced Lee to claw wide a close-range chip.
After Rovers' killer goal, McNeil again went close but at the death could only head wide again from six yards.
