EAGLE COUNTY LEAGUE

Freeport's Aaron Brown slides safely into second base under the tag of Saxonburg's Sandy Sanderson Monday in Freeport's 4-3 victory in Game 4 of their Eagle County League playoff series.

Aaron Brown's single in the bottom of the sixth inning drove in Cy Haponski with the eventual winning run as Freeport evened its Eagle County League semifinal series with Saxonburg at two games apiece with a 4-3 win Monday at Swartz Field.

Saxonburg entered the bottom of the sixth with a 3-1 lead, but Haponski drove in two runs with a single of his own before scoring the deciding run.

Kevin Rayburn earned the win after pitching a complete game, striking out five and walking two.

The fifth and decisive game will be played at 6 p.m. today at Pullman Park.
