Ackley finally awakens

Posted Jun 21, 2007

North Carolina coach Mike Fox dropped Dustin Ackley to seventh in the batting order Wednesday to try to take some of the pressure off the cold-swinging freshman. But after a 2-for-5 performance -- including a three-run home run in the seventh inning that sealed UNC's 6-1 victory over Rice -- Ackley just might move back up for today's 7 p.m. rematch.
