May 20, 2015 – North Central College baseball player
Bryan Polowy keeps racking up the awards this season, earning D3baseball.com Third Team All-America honors, becoming just the 10
th player to earn All-America accolades and the first since 2002.
Coming off one of the most dominant seasons in North Central history, Polowy allowed just nine earned runs over 74 1/3 innings pitched, striking out 61 batters while walking just 17. His 1.09 earned run average broke the program's single-season ERA mark of 1.37, originally set by Bob Walker in 1974, while leading the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) in wins, ERA and opposing batting average. He jumped into the single-season record book in multiple categories, as his two shutouts this season rank him tied for first, his eight wins rank second, 74 1/3 innings pitched rank sixth and five complete games rank ninth.
Polowy has etched his name in the program's history book multiple times this season, adding the third team All-America honor to his American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings Central Region Pitcher of the Year, in addition to his D3baseball.com Central Region Pitcher of the Year and College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Pitcher of the Year awards, all firsts in the history of the program.
Polowy was one of two from the CCIW to earn All-America honors this season, joined by Carthage College's Jared Helmich on the third team as a utility player.
