This was posted on the other board. Heh.
Found an article from the Raleigh News and Observer, June 24, 2006. "Carolina's run brings to mind 1955 Deacons" Maybe someone can post it on here. I do not have the tech savy.
Interesting points:
"All-ACC senior Tommy Cole- a .339 batter who led the ACC in home runs with 7- was sidelined with an ankle injury suffered in the second Series game.
"Wake was also missing star pitcher Lefty Davis- who led the ACC in wins with a 10-1 record- because Wake wouldn't excuse him from summer school classes."
"Then there was the time when the Deacons were scheduled to play a Sunday game. Deacons teams were not allowed to compete on the Sabbath."
"Wake president Harold Tribble, who was quoted later in a Deacon publication: 'If I had known about this Sunday, I would never have given permission for it to be played.' "
