Kansas City, MO-Wade Broyles of the Belhaven baseball team was an NAIA First Team All-American selection when it was announced by the NAIA on Thursday afternoon. The All-Americans were chosen by the NAIA-Baseball Coaches Association (BCA) All-America Selection Committee.

Broyles, a senior relief pitcher from Madison, MS, anchored the back end of the Blazers bullpen recording 14 saves during the 2010 season which ranked him second in the NAIA in that category. The 14 saves by Broyles is also a new Belhaven single season school record that was previously held by Kyle Medley who notched 13 saves in 2009. Broyles went 3-0 during the season and posted an ERA of 1.54 with 75 strikeouts in 41 innings of work. He allowed just seven earned runs all season and held opposing hitters to a .149 batting average.

Belhaven just finished one of the most successful seasons in school history by making their first appearance in the NAIA World Series and tying the school record for most wins in a season with 44. The Blazers went 44-17 in 2010 and posted the same record during the 2007 campaign. The official NAIA press release and complete list of All-Americans can be viewed by clicking here.
