Yes, you can get pregnant if you had unprotected sex on June 28th.

Ovulation usually happens 14 days before your next period comes. According to the data you gave me your cycle lasts 2 22 = 24 days. This means your ovulation should happen 24–14= 10 days after your period started which is June 16th 10days = June, 26th. Two days before and after the ovulation date (from 24th to 28th June) are considered to be the most fertile days.
