A cortisone shot in late July allowed Haviland to finish his summer in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, and September rest healed the injury fully. News of a full-strength Haviland is sure to disappoint Ancient Eight hitters as they get in this spring’s first swings—the 2006 Ivy League Pitcher of the year has firmly established his place as one of the conference’s elite starters. And on a team with a fair number of question marks...
