For the sixth time in eight Cascade Conference doubleheaders, The College of Idaho split a twinbill - outlasting Eastern Oregon in extra innings, 4-2, before dropping a mercy-rule induced 8-0 decision in La Grande, Ore.

Nickayla Skinner hit a pair of home runs, while striking out a combined 19 batters, helping The College of Idaho to a doubleheader split with No. 23 ranked Corban University in Salem, Ore.

The No. 19 ranked Lady Yotes (24-10, 7-7 CCC) dropped a 4-2 decision in the opener, but hung on for a 5-2 victory in Game 2.

The College of Idaho climbed one spot to No. 19 in the latest NAIA Top-25 Softball Coaches' Poll, released this afternoon by the national office in Kansas City, Mo. 

The Lady Yotes (23-9) received 243 voter points in the poll - one of three CCC teams in the Top-25, as Oregon Tech is at No. 6 and Corban is at No. 23, while Concordia received votes.  Concordia (Calif.), whom the Lady Yotes lost 3-2 in extra innings in February, is the new No. 1 team in the NAIA, followed by Cal State-San Marcos, Oklahoma City, Central Baptist (Ark.), and Lubbock Christian (Texas). 

Kendall Pavey ripped an RBI single in the top of the 14th inning, helping The College of Idaho to a doubleheader split with Southern Oregon, winning the opener, 7-5, before losing the nightcap, 11-1, in Ashland, Ore.
