ACC Freshman of the Year Dustin Ackley, the nation’s fifth-leading batter with a .437 average, leads No. 3 overall seed North Carolina into the opening weekend of the 2007 NCAA playoffs. But he's only one of several rookies making an impact as the Tar Heels embark on another run at the College World Series title. “It’s almost expected for him to get a hit every time he comes up there,” frosh right fielder Tim Fedroff said about Ackley.
