Hawks prez inks one-day deal

The South Bend Silver Hawks, in conjunction with the Arizona Diamondbacks, announced Monday that Joe Kernan, Silver Hawks President, has been signed to a one-day contract with the Diamondbacks.

Kernan has been assigned to the Silver Hawks and will make his professional baseball debut in the Silver vs. Gold exhibition game against the University of Notre Dame on Wednesday, April 2.

Kernan, a catcher for the University of Notre Dame baseball team in his college days, is excited to now face his alma mater as a Silver Hawks team member. Kernan stated, "It's about time! I've been waiting 40 years for the call and am delighted to be joining the Diamondbacks, an organization that has always had an eye for talent."

Oh, and the Silver Hawks roster is out, too. It looks like there is a release, but there is no link to it. Entire Hawks roster.
