Dustin Ackley stroked three hits last night to become North Carolina's career leading hitter, helping secure a 5-2 win over Dartmouth in the first round of the NCAA baseball tournament's Chapel Hill Regional. Ackley lined a double down the left-field line in the bottom of the eighth inning to drive in his second run of the game for his 329th UNC hit.
