MINNEAPOLIS - As the Salisbury University baseball team prepares for another season on the diamond, two of its members can celebrate their first preseason accolades as they were named to the D3baseball.com 2010 Preseason All-America team. 

Senior first baseman Mike Celenza (Gaithersburg, Md.) and junior outfielder Andrew Miller (Schwenksville, Pa.) were both first-team selections. Celenza's 12 home runs last year was the third-highest total of all first-team selections; in 2009, he led the team in seven categories, including hits (75) and on-base percentage (.576). Miller, who slammed nine out of the park last season, boasted a .406 batting average in 2009. He also led the team in numerous categories, including runs scored (67) and doubles (13). The two led the Sea Gulls to an impressive 38-8 record and the program's ninth Capital Athletic Conference championship.

In addition to the first-team selections, junior infielder/pitcher Kyle Judson (Gaithersburg, Md.) was given honorable mention accolades. He started in 13 games last season and was second on the team in strikeouts (71).

The Sea Gulls will begin their season on the road, on Feb. 14, at the Apprentice School. The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Salisbury's first home contest, a double-header against the College of Staten Island, will be on Feb. 20. The game is set for 12 p.m.
