Joey Lippo was raking.
Playing in a rare Monday night doubleheader, the Coupeville grad swatted five hits as the Lynnwood Llamas earned a split in Cascade Collegiate League play.
Bouncing back to nab a 5-2 win over the Snoqualmie Chinooks, after a 4-1 loss in the opener, the Llamas left the field boasting a 12-2 mark on the season.
The CCL is a summer wooden bat league which draws baseball players from NCAA and NAIA schools.
Lippo, coming off his freshman campaign at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, has been a … solid hit … as a Llama.
He’s #2 on the squad in batting average, and #1 in steals, on-base percentage, and quality at-bats.
Monday night Lippo piled up three hits in the opener, including a double, before coming back around to collect two more base-knocks in the finale.
He also put his stamp on the game on the defensive side of things, rifling a throw from deep center to home plate to nail a wayward runner in game one.
The 24-game CCL season, which features six teams, runs through Aug. 8.
