Willie Augustavo stroked a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead Inglemoor to a 3-2 win yesterday over Woodinville in a loser-out 4A Kingco baseball game at Inglemoor High.

“Now THAT was a Game!” reads the Inglemoor baseball Web site, “a classic.”

With the win, Inglemoor will take on Bothell — a 7-3 loser to Issqauah last night — at 4 p.m. today at Woodinville High.

Lucas Wimmer pitched all eight innings to earn the win for Inglemoor.

Woodinville took a 1-0 lead in the top of the seventh, and Inglemoor tied the score on a bases-loaded walk to Curtis Bafus with one out. The Falcons got out of the inning and the game moved into extra frames.

After Woodinville went up 2-1 in the eighth, Inglemoor responded with a Jake Sleder lead-off single, a Josh Williams bunt to put runners on first and second and a Tyler Beahan sacrifice bunt to put two Viks in scoring position.

On a 3-2 pitch, Augustavo’s big hit first scored Sleder and Williams beat the throw to the plate in a puff of dust to win the game.
