TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — While the weather in Idaho has been rainy, snowy and at times cold this weekend, the College of Southern Idaho baseball and softball teams got to enjoy the warmth of the Arizona sun as each team played five games in three days.

Starting with the baseball team which, after picking up their first win of the season on Tuesday took on the Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes unfortunately losing the series 3-2 overall.
