UNC's lofty heights have their perils

Posted Jun 8, 2009
Tuesday's Major League Baseball draft will have a distinct UNC flavor. Unfortunately, the taste could be described as sweet and sour. On one hand, if Carolina juniors Dustin Ackley and Alex White go as early as predicted, it will be a day of celebration for those young men and the UNC baseball program. Both have been exemplary people in representing the school, and each is an accomplished athlete on the field. (Chapel Hill News)
