The 6-foot-5 inch infielder batted .364 and drove in six runs.

In the first game of the week, Haffey launched a home run in the eighth inning to give the Beavers a 2-0 lead over the Eastside Diamond Hoppers and secure the two-run victory. He followed that up with a 2-for-4 performance, including a home run against the first-place Utica Unicorns and homered on Sunday in a 9-2 win over the Westside Woolly Mammoths.
