Mike Vukovcan HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP– We’ve had some huge individual performances this season within the Hopewell Youth Baseball League and last night’s might have been the best.
12-year-old Owen McGovern had a night he’ll never forget as he went 3-for-3, with 3 homeruns and 7 RBIs leading Hopewell’s Trey Thomas (11-12-year-olds) to a 17-9 win over Hopewell’s Spring Magnone.

Getting the long ball is nothing new for McGovern as he smacked a home run earlier this year against South Side. Also, McGovern plays for 12U BV White (travel baseball) and had 3 homeruns in his team’s first tournament.
