Moments later, Scunthorpe were given a chance to instantly strike back, when Charlie Daniels was penalised for a handball in the penalty area.
Grella stepped up, but James comfortably pushed the ball to safety to keep Bournemouth's lead intact.
It got worse for the home side moments later, when Steve Mildenhall's clearance hit Fodgen, with the ball ending up in the net to double the Cherries' lead.
Mid-way through the second half, Shaun MacDonald gave away a penalty, again for handball.
This time, Hawley stepped up and made no mistake, giving The Iron almost half an hour to find an equaliser.
However, the home side rarely threatened and Bournemouth comfortably hung on for the three points.
