Dodgers Unsung Popovich shines for Belmont coverage
Morgantown scene breathes baseball and golf as Paul Popovich, Morgantown’s lone major leaguer, earns notice with a .250 average for the Dodgers after stepping in at second base for an injured Lefebvre. He can handle short or third, and his switch hitting pays dividends this season. Also: Handley reports golf turnout up, John Bellotte nets a hole in one, and West shifts to a TV fishing role with plans for sport camps and overseas ads.
