Nathan Abbott’s three-run homer produced all the scoring and Blaine Cockburn threw a two-hitter to lead No. 3 Freeport past No. 6 York in a Class B South quarterfinal in Freeport.

The two-time defending regional champions (14-4) advanced to host 15th-seeded Lake Region at noon Saturday.

Cockburn and Wildcats pitcher Hayden Henriksen each allowed just one hit through three innings. In the bottom of the fourth, though, Cockburn beat out an infield hit with one out, Thomas Roy also singled, and Abbott hit his third home run versus York (12-6) this year – a blast over the fence in left field.

Cockburn allowed just three base runners, on two singles and an error, and struck out eight.
