The 6-2, 220-pound native of Willacoochee, Ga., tied a school record by hitting three home runs in one game. McGovern did it on his last three at bats of the series Saturday against Charlotte, blasting a pair of solo home runs and a two-run shot. He is one of only eight Bulldogs in school history to smash three home runs in a game, and the first to do it since 2009.
 
McGovern has started all seven games for the Bulldogs (6-1). He leads the team in batting (.480), runs (14), hits (12), home runs (6), RBI (13), slugging percentage (1.240) and on base percentage (.594).

Also of note, McGovern is one of four candidates for the Golden Spikes Award Performance of the Week, with the winner determined by an online poll from the @USAGoldenSpikes Twitter account. Bulldog fans are encouraged to vote for McGovern through Tuesday.
