Several days after being named to the
prestigious Area Code Games, Barrington catcher Ryan Lidge capped off the most
exciting week of his baseball life by orally committing to Notre Dame.
Lidge, a switch-hitter, batted .360 with
two home runs and just six strikeouts as a junior last spring -- his first
season as a varsity starter.
He's one of just three Illinois players
selected to represent the White Sox in the Area Code Games in Long Beach,
Calif., from Aug. 5-10. Approximately 130 players were invited to try out for
the team.
"When I heard about it, it was
surreal," Lidge said. "My dad told me when I was at baseball
practice. I was like, 'Wait, is he serious?'"
The other two Illinois players to make the
team are from Simeon: outfielder Corey Ray and infielder Ronell Coleman.
