Boom! Congratulations to the Explosion X (2010) on your second place finish in the ISA Back to School Bash “A” bracket. The girls played hard scoring 31 runs total and only giving up 9 for the day. They started strong in pool play giving them the number one seed in A bracket and continued strong into bracket with two wins (one against Cumberland Lake Elite and another against Sweetwater Storm), which placed them into the championship game to face Storm again. After a tough 3-1 loss, they were forced into an “extra inning” and fell short by only 1 run. Congratulations to Sweetwater Storm and Explosion X, we are very proud of your efforts!
