LEWISTON - Darnell Metcalf had two doubles and four RBIs in an 11-3 win in the first game for Prairie, but the Cardinals stranded 12 runners to drop the the second game to the Lewis-Clark Twins 5-4 and split a "AA" North Idaho League doubleheader at Harris Field on Tuesday.

Joe Schwalbach pitched five shutout innings in the first game for Prairie (16-14, 6-6 NIL), which faces Seattle Select on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Seattle tournament at Mount Si High in Snoqualmie, Wash.

"We played really well today," Prairie coach Dustin Frank said. "Since that Best of the Northwest tournament, we've been struggling a little bit. But a lot of our leaders stepped up today and really started to show their true colors. If those guys struggle, we struggle and it was nice to see our leaders step up and hopefully we can continue it for the rest of the season."

Lewis-Clark moves to 12-21, 1-5.
