Freeport, Ill. — Freeport jumped out to a 4-0 lead against conference leader Boylan on Friday. But in the sixth inning, the Pretzels found themselves in an all too familiar place. "We've been having just a big inning in games were we fall apart," Freeport coach Jeff Sands said. "Today you saw it coming on a little bit in the sixth inning, and I had to call a couple of timeouts. But this time, the girls stayed with it and got out of there." Freeport held off a late Boylan rally to earn a 4-3 home win one day after taking its third conference loss against Harlem. The Pretzels said handing Boylan (11-7, 5-1 NIC-10) its first conference loss is the confidence booster they need after a disappointing start to the season.
