Time to pack the bags and head home.
Coupeville High School grad Joey Lippo and his college baseball team capped a nine-games-in-five-days run through Florida Thursday, winning their getaway game.
The University of Maine at Presque Isle earned a split on the day, falling 10-5 to Colby-Sawyer College, before rebounding to win the nightcap 13-9.
Lippo and the Owls sit at 2-9 on the season.
The former Wolf three-sport star piled up two hits, two RBI, three walks, and five runs across the Thursday doubleheader.
Through 11 games Lippo leads Presque Isle in batting average (.389), RBI (9), runs (12), and walks (6), and is tied for the team lead in home runs (1).
The CHS grad and twin brother of dance supernova Skyy Lippo is second on the Owls in hits (14), triples (1), on-base percentage (.444), and slugging percentage (.583).
After its southern marathon, Presque Isle is off until Mar. 26, when it takes the field in Massachusetts to face Fisher College.
