Northport, Fla. – Austin Meadows waited patiently in the visitor’s clubhouse while two reporters detained his younger brother Parker.
“How come you guys never want to talk to me,” he said, laughing.
The brothers Meadows, Georgia-born and raised, combined for five hits and seven RBIs, helping the Tigers to a 16-7 spring romp over the Atlanta Braves at CoolToday Park on Saturday.
Parker, though, earned top billing. He walked, singled, blasted two home runs and knocked in four.
“It felt really good,” Parker said. “Especially to do it against the Braves. I grew up watching the Braves, they were my favorite team.
