Daniel, Damien Ferguson Selected for All Star Teams

Daniel Ferguson (12 and in black in photo at right) and Damien Ferguson (10 and in purple in photo at right) have been selected to play in the upcoming All Star baseball tournaments.

Daniel will be on the 12 and under team scheduled to compete in the Fourth of July tournament to be held in Chesterfield, MO. Damien will be on the 10 and under American Division squad which will be playing in a tournament also to be played the Fourth of July weekend in Mattoon, IL. Mom will be traveling to Missouri to be with Daniel, while I will be staying home to watch Damien play.

Both boys are quite capable of playing any position, including both pitching and catching. Daniel has played mostly at catcher this season for his Cal Ripken team, although he has seen more action at center field, shortstop and pitching here of late. Damien has played shortstop for the most part for his Kids Pitch baseball team, particularly since his younger brother, Donovan, has began to carry some of the catching duties. Damien has played the outfield on his traveling team, the Mattoon Hit Men, so he is quite confortable patroling the grass between the foul poles.

Good luck to both of you and your teams!
