Total Depravity falls to 0-2

Total Depravity jumped out to an early lead but it wasn't enough as The Buckeyes rallied late and claimed victory 6-5.

The evening started with a pre-game Tailgate that brought together our passionate fan base and a casual meet and eat with the finely tuned athletes of Total Depravity. While no autographs were collected the team was able to answer fan questions and model the new team uniforms for those interested in showing their team spirit at home and in the office. With 7 pm game time fast approaching the rosters were set & it was time to play.

Total Depravity began the game by collecting a quick 3 outs and then was able to record an equally quick three runs behind the experienced kicking of the front of the lineup. Yet 3 runs was not enough to hold off the rally of the Buckeyes (1-1) who waited until the middle innings to score their first run and later 3 more runs on a peculiar call by the home plate umpire who awarded the runner home despite not yet being on 3rd thus bringing the score to 4-3. From there it was a back and forth game with each team scoring points and having them answered almost immediately in the next inning. When it was all said and done Total Depravity managed to leave the winning run on base with a two out pop-up that ended the game and secured The Buckeyes first win 6-5.

TEAM NOTES:
Improved defense resulted in virtually all infield pop-ups being recorded as outs as well as some line drives. Jon Stephens who spent much of the game as Short Stop caught two consecutive line drives in the 1st inning. Travis Williamson who pitched the entire game also show off improved defense robbing more than one kicker of a hit.

Amy Creighton recorded Total Depravity's first walk in Kickball history.

INJURY NOTES:
Based off of the first game's slew of injuries ranging from skinned knees to broken fingers, week 2 was a success. While in-game soreness and strained muscles were a common complaint we did not have any reports of broken bones. We did have a skinned leg when Micheal Schmidt slid back into 1st to avoid the tag. He was treated after the game.

Join us next week for Week 3 as Total Depravity takes on The 3 B's (0-2) at 6pm.
