The hosts then completed the turnaround after 27 minutes when Harley Mills' free-kick was headed in by the unmarked Danny Ormerod.
But the Tykes were level five minutes before half-time when Reyes Cleary beat Mendonca with ease down the left before placing his shot into the bottom corner.
The visitors looked to have won it when Cleary bent in his second in the 74th minute, but Ormerod sent the tie to penalties by heading in Mills' cross with just two minutes remaining.
After 12 successful spot-kicks, a tame effort from Barnsley's Luke Alker was saved by Bass, giving Harrison Jones the chance to send the hosts through, which he dispatched.
