Hackettstown’s Centenary University cut the ribbon on “Our Diamond of Dreams,” a new state-of-the-art baseball complex, during a ceremony on Oct. 5. The facility provides an on-campus home for the Cyclone baseball team, the university’s largest NCAA DIII sport.

Honored guest for the event was Steven M. Somers, who with his wife, Sharon, was lead donor for the new complex. Owner and president of Vigon International, Somers threw out the ceremonial first pitch and addressed the attendees. Other speakers included Centenary University President Rosalind Reichard, Ph.D., and Head Baseball Coach Scott Kushner.

Following the ceremony and a baseball-themed reception, the current Cyclones team faced off against Centenary baseball alumni for the field’s inaugural game.
