Aaron Connolly found space after 27 minutes after a one-two with Charlie Wellens and drilled his shot from outside the area into the bottom right corner.
The hosts looked for a third and Connolly and Ballard came close before the latter killed the game off three minutes after the break by rounding Lawlor after a Killian Cahill goal-kick.
Cahill turned a close-range Billy Sharp effort over the bar after 54 minutes, but Orient got a deserved fourth in the 72nd minute when Ballard converted a low Connolly cross to complete his hat-trick.
The only sour note of the afternoon for the hosts was having Rarmani Edmonds-Green taken off on a stretcher.
