Dustin Ackley focuses on super regionals, not draft

Posted Jun 2, 2009
Dustin Ackley could become North Carolina's highest draft pick since B.J. Surhoff went No. 1 more than two decades ago. Before draft day, the Tar Heels hope to earn their fourth straight trip to the College World Series. That's why Ackley is focused on the East Carolina Pirates, who UNC hosts on Saturday in a best-of-three super regional series. "I just try not to think about it as much as possible," Ackley said Tuesday. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
