UNC Ends Southern Miss' Dream Season
Posted Jun 16, 2009
Corky Palmer's magical season -- and coaching career -- at Southern Miss has ended. Palmer and the Golden Eagles can blame their early exit from the College World Series on a number of factors, from jitters to pitching struggles, but it's the record-setting performance from Dustin Ackley that will certainly leave a lasting impression. Ackley, the No. 2 overall selection of the Seattle Mariners in last week's MLB draft, went 5-for-6 and became the CWS' career hits leader.
