Dustin Ackley, bat still wowing years later
Posted Jun 18, 2009
North Carolina players have memories of Dustin Ackley that go back 10 years, and most seem to involve the kind of record-setting hitting performance he produced Tuesday. Ackley and Tar Heels teammate Kyle Seager played against each other in AAU games when they were 11. “It never failed – he'd lead off the game with a home run,” said Seager. When Ackley arrived at UNC, not much had changed.
