BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Trey Vice this week became the fourth UAB baseball player this year to earn all-star recognition in a summer league.
Vice, a left-hander from Wellington, Ala., pitched his way to Great South League All-Star honors with a perfect 6-0 record in seven regular-season starts. He is competing for the East Alabama Big Train, which plays its home games at Lawson State Community College in Birmingham.
A rising senior, Vice carries a 1.18 ERA. He owns 36 strikeouts in 47 and one-third innings of work, and his six wins are the most of any pitcher in the league. His 2010 selection marks the second year in a row he has been named an all-star playing for East Alabama.
Vice helped the Big Train to a second-place finish in the GSL Western Division. The team will compete this weekend in the league's postseason tournament.
The Great South League, formerly the Georgia Collegiate League, is a wood-bat summer league consisting of 19 teams in four divisions over six Southern states.
As a junior this past spring, Vice appeared in 10 games out of the UAB bullpen. He was 2-0 with 17 strikeouts in 13 and one-third innings.
UAB teammates Ryan Woolley (California Collegiate League), Jamal Austin (Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League) and Jacob German (GLSCL) were also named to all-star teams earlier in July.
