TO THE EDITOR:
The quiet way that Dustin Ackley goes five-for-five is completely overblown by an article that can only barely name any other player on the team (UNC bats lead three-game sweep of VMI" Feb.23). What would five-for-five be without the eight other boys to bring him in? One player, no matter what his statistics may be, cannot win a baseball game alone. Ackley knows this, too.
This series was hardly forgettable"" either. Everyone in attendance has certain things seared into their memories. Greg Holt crossing the plate three inches behind Mark Fleury on Friday, or Garrett Gore making unearthly plays from right on Saturday are only a few of the things that I'm sure we will never forget. Sometimes the most memorable moments cannot be captured by box scores or statistics.
And Mark Fleury? I hardly think that he was a first-time starter.""
Judging by Monday's baseball article" I think The Daily Tar Heel needs to work a little harder on figuring out what exactly is going on.
