The Xplosion opened the 2009-2010 season with an invitational game at Rockhurst University against a collective group of Blue Springs Lightning and Olathe Rocket players. The game was played prior to the annual Rockhurst Hawks alumni game.

The ladies took advantage of a leadoff walk, an error, and a well placed ground ball in the bottom half of the 2nd to take a 1-0 lead. Neither team could push across any runs until the Xplosion added 2 more runs in the 5th and a single run in the 6th. Their opponents were limited to 5 baserunners in the 7 inning game, and the Xplosion defense did not allow any runners beyond 1st base.

Megan collected 2 hits in her return to the lineup with Abby adding a solid single rounding out the base hits. Allison went the distance in the circle allowing 3 hits while striking out 12 with no walks.

Thanks to the Rockhurst softball team and Coach Struve for allowing us to play at their outstanding facility!

Next action for the Xplosion will be in the NSF Fall Recruiting Tournament at OGSA/Lone Elm on October 17th & 18th.
