NEW YORK -- It was 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday afternoon when North Carolina baseball coach Mike Fox walked off the diamond on UNC's campus and quickly dashed home before making his way to the Raleigh-Durham Airport.
Fox -- joined by John Ackley and a few others from North Carolina -- was Queens-bound for the Sunday night finale of the Subway Series: a three-game set littered with former Tar Heels Adam Warren, Andrew Miller, Matt Harvey and Dustin Ackley, John's son.
Fox and John Ackley boarded their plane Sunday afternoon not knowing if Dustin would start.
