Like Superman before him, Joey Lippo seems to draw power from the sun.
Kicking off a nine-games-in-five-days road trip to Florida, the Coupeville grad rapped out five hits Sunday as he and his college baseball team split a doubleheader.
The University of Maine at Presque Isle slipped past Gallaudet University 3-2 in the opener, then fell 8-7 in extra innings in the nightcap.
The Owls, now 1-3 on the young season, get right back at it Monday with games against Rutgers University-Newark and SUNY Plattsburgh.
Lippo put up quality numbers in both games Sunday, lashing a leadoff triple in the opener.
He came around to score on an RBI single from teammate Timothy Burns, then added an RBI on a sac fly to stake Presque Isle to the win.
Playing the all-around game, Lippo also gunned down a runner at the plate, launching a cannon shot from deep in center field.
Returning to the field for game #2, the former Wolf stayed en fuego, bashing four hits against Gallaudet pitching.
Through four games, Lippo, a sophomore at Presque Isle, is hitting .455 with a .462 on base percentage and a .636 slugging percentage.
