Diamond Club Holds 2019 Dinner

The Southern Connecticut Diamond Club, Inc. will honor 30 area high school baseball players at its annual awards banquet on Sunday, June 9, at Monticello’s Restaurant in Meriden. 

Each player will be presented with the John Whitey” Piurek There’s No I’ In Team” Award. Named for the longtime West Haven High coach, the honor is awarded to the member of each team who gives most unselfishly to his program.
