Senior catcher acts as spiritual leader for Heels
Two flat-screen TVs hang black and silent in the North Carolina baseball player’s lounge. An abandoned game of pool sits forgotten in the corner. Twenty Tar Heels bow their heads in unison, as a Southern accent comes from the front of the room. “I want to go ahead and open up with a prayer before we get started.” Dustin Ackley, already halfway into his uniform at 10 a.m., has his shoulders bowed. Garrett Gore, who looks as though he’s still halfway in bed, gazes downward. Head coach Mike Fox quiets the buzz of a call on his cell phone. And they listen to Mike McKee. (Daily Tar Heel)
