UNC freshman is 'Wonder Boy'
Posted Apr 6, 2007
Dustin Ackley never alters his mindset at the plate. All he wants out of that smooth swing is to make contact. Whatever happens after that, happens. He's on a 23-game hitting streak (fifth-longest in school history) and his .479 average is second in the ACC. His 45 RBIs lead the ACC and his five home runs are among the league leaders. The hitting streak will be on the line this weekend when the Tar Heels play at Boston College.
