Mother nature defeated plans yet again for the various Knoxville Explosion Teams playing at the USFA Diamonds in the Smokies Double Points Tournament held in Pigeon Forge, TN on May 17-19, 2013.  The 14u, '02 and 8u Knoxville Explosion teams were in action in an extremely competitive field that included teams from Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee.  Battling rain all weekend, the Explosion teams fought hard all weekend.  The 8u Explosion finished their tournament on Saturday, May 18 and won 1st place!  Great job ladies!  The 14u and '02 Explosion teams were undefeated in the tournament play before the tournament was called.  The 14u finished in 2nd place and the '02 Explosion won 3rd place based upon runs allowed.  The 14u White Lightning and '02 Atlanta Vipers won their respective divisions.  Great job guys and congratulations to all of the Explosion Players who played in horrible field conditions and pushed through it all!  A special shoutout to the '02 Explosion who won a great pool game against the '03 Mojo 3-1 on Saturday!  Nice job girls!  Hopefully the weather will get better so all teams competing can finish the tournaments!
