The bat is sizzlin’.
Day two of a five-day jaunt to Florida brought more success for Coupeville grad Joey Lippo, as he continued to tear up college baseball pitching.
The former Wolf bashed four hits across two games Monday, including launching a home run to left center.
But while Lippo’s bat was getting work done, his University of Maine at Presque Isle hardball team didn’t have as much luck, dropping both games it played.
After absorbing a 14-3 loss to Rutgers University-Newark and an 18-4 defeat at the hands of SUNY Plattsburgh, the Owls fall to 1-5 on the season.
Presque Isle, which is playing five straight days in Florida, has its lightest schedule Tuesday, with just a single game against SUNY Brockport.
The Owls wrap up their southern jaunt with doubleheaders Wednesday (Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts) and Thursday (Colby-Sawyer College), then are off for nine days.
Lippo opened play Monday by bashing three hits off of Rutgers pitching, before topping his day with a round-tripper against Plattsburgh.
Through six games, he tops Presque Isle in virtually every offensive category, from batting average (.500) to hits (9), runs (4), RBI (3), on-base percentage (.524), and slugging percentage (.778).
