JT Neely had two hits and an RBI, Desmond Parisotto pitched five solid innings and Freeman (22-4) beat Overlake/Bear Creek 3-2 in eight innings for third place at County Stadium in Yakima.
Neely led off the game with a double and scored on McKabe Cottrell’s sacrifice fly. Sebastian Hyta added a run in the third when he led off with a single and took advantage of mistakes by Overlake/Bear Creek (22-5) to move around the bases.
