Early in the second half, a free-kick from Millwall's Jed Wallace was comfortably saved by Simon Moore.
Freeman then increased the home side's lead after 55 minutes with a low finish from inside the area.
As Millwall looked for a way back, Ben Thompson had a long-range effort saved by Moore and Lee Gregory headed over.
Gregory also shot wide after being put through by Wallace as Millwall failed to get on the scoresheet.
