Hakey first Lander player to sign professional contract
"I am really happy for Pat to get this opportunity," said Lander coach Mike McGuire. "It's every baseball player's dream to play pro ball. This is good for Pat and good for Lander." Hakey, who posted a 1-0 record in six appearances in 2004, saw limited play in the spring due to recovering from arm surgery. But through rebhabilitation, he got stronger and stronger through the spring. "Pat's pitching is as hard as ever," said McGuire. "I wish the him the best of luck and hope he makes the the best of this opportunity." Lander ties school record with sweep against Owls  GREENWOOD----The Lander baseball team tied the team record for
