“It’s very important to continue their baseball in the summer leagues,” coach Bill Currier said. “It helps improve their skills by competing against top college players.”
Milford’s Arciuolo was named to the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) First Team. Arciuolo was named to the East Division All Star team in July, finishing third in the league in average.
“It was an awesome overall experience,” the outfielder Arciuolo said. “The atmosphere of the whole league was fun and made it easy to settle in.”
Crispino of Avon was rewarded with an All-PGCBL Second Team selection leading the Diamond Dawgs with 27 RBI.
“This summer playing with a couple of guys from our team was a great time,” Crispino said. “We got a chance to learn from great coaches and to have a good summer experience.”
Fellow Connecticut natives, catcher Kevin Radziewicz (Cromwell) and infielder Michael Conti (Glastonbury), were also on the Diamond Dawgs team. Radziewicz was named to the East Division All-Star team and those four Stags helped bring the Diamond Dawgs to the East Division Semi-finals.
Pitcher Gavin Wallace of Madison, NJ, spent his summer with the Albany Dutchmen with infielder Jack Gethings. Out of the seven Fairfield representatives in the PGCBL, pitcher Mike Bonaiuto was the only Stag to raise a championship trophy for the Amsterdam Mohawks. The Meriden, Conn., pitcher joined a pair of Fairfield pitchers to win titles with Southington's Kyle Dube and Wallingford’s John Signore also capturing the championship at the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL)
Troy Scocca, of Syosset, N.Y., also appeared in the NECBL. The rising senior would be named an NECBL All-Star. Rising sophomore Tim Zeng of Lumberton, N.J. was the final of the Stags’ five All-Star picks of the summer for the Shelter Island Bucks of the Hamptons College Baseball League. Ryan O'Connor also returns home after gaining summer experience. The team will have a few weeks off before returning to campus to start the fall semester with the hopes of repeating their MAAC championship.
