not to be outdone

It came a day after Father’s Day, but yet another son of a former Jackson area Double-A manager had a big day. In his first pro game, in his first at-bat, Troy Snitker homered for the Gulf Coast League Braves on Monday. The son of former Mississippi Braves manager Brian Snitker went 3-for-5 in the rookie league game. Troy, a catcher, was the Braves’ 19th-round pick earlier this month out of North Georgia College.
