They scored twice in the final ten minutes, including a 78th minute try to Remy Baget as veteran flyhalf Camille Lopez kicked them to victory.
It was Hodge's first start for Bayonne, slotting into outside centre after debuting on the bench against Glasgow earlier in the month.
Meanwhile, defending two-time European champions La Rochelle thrashed Toulouse 29-8 in a psychological blow to Antoine Dupont's team.
France skipper Dupont was not in the match-day 23, however, as a La Rochelle team featuring Gregory Alldritt in his first match since France's World Cup quarter-final loss to South Africa notched up a bonus-point victory in front of a home 16,700 sell-out crowd.
Tries from wingers Dillyn Leyds and Nathan Bollengier, allied with one from Fiji flanker Levani Botia and a penalty try were enough to see the hosts claim the win -- just their fifth from 11 matches this season.
Toulouse claimed a late consolation score through Clement Verge against the team they beat for the Top 14 title last season.
Dupont is set to link up with the Sevens side in February ahead of a tilt at the Olympics.
