Memphis, Tenn. - Former Memphis righthander Jarrett Grube earned second-team All-South Region honors in an announcement made by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA). Grube was one of seven Conference USA players named to the two squads and finished his senior campaign in 2004 with a 9-4 record and a league-leading ERA of 2.82.

Grube was drafted in the 10th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft by the Colorado Rockies earlier in June. The Corunna, Ind., native is currently playing Class A ball for the Tri-City Dust Devils of the Northwest League in Pasco, Wash. (www.dustdevilsbaseball.com).

The regional honor was for the first for a Tiger since 2001 when Daniel Uggla was recognized and it was Grube's second postseason honor after he was named first-team All C-USA in late May.
