There was no escaping from Joey Lippo’s booming bat.
The Coupeville grad carved up rival pitchers Sunday, collecting five hits — including a three-run triple — and five RBI, as he and the University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball squad returned to action.
After sitting idle for eight days, Lippo and Co. split a doubleheader with Central Maine Community College, winning the nightcap 11-5 after being nipped 6-5 in the opener.
With the split, the Owls get to 3-16 on the year.
Lippo was locked in all day, opening with three hits and scoring a run in the first game.
But it was game #2 where he really went wild, launching a bases-clearing three-bagger followed by a two-run single.
Another run scored on a Lippo fly ball which was misplayed for an error, while the former Wolf also stole two bases.
Through 19 games, Skyy Lippo’s twin sibling leads UMPI in at-bats (65), runs (16), triples (2), home runs (1), RBI (13), walks (8), and steals (3).
He’s second on the Owls in batting average (.385), on-base percentage (.440), slugging percentage (.523), and hits (25).
UMPI returns to action next weekend, when it plays four games against Thomas College.
