This Day In UNC Baseball History: May 7

Posted May 7, 2020
Today we go back to 2009, 2011, and 2016 for a very unusual winning pitcher, a walk-off hit by an under appreciated Tar Heel great, and a walk-off home run against the team that ended up getting the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. Dustin Ackley had 3 hits for the Tar Heels, including a pair of home runs, and drove in 4 and scored 3 times. (GoHeels.com)
