Across the nation, Wolves are winning the day.
Saturday, Coupeville High School grad Sarah Wright picked up a game-deciding RBI in a college softball game, and Sunday it was Joey Lippo’s turn.
The former Wolf baseball ace punched across the game’s only run with a fourth-inning single to lift the University of Maine at Presque Isle to a 1-0 victory against Thomas College.
The win gave the Owls a doubleheader split after they fell 11-6 in the opener, and lifts UMPI to 4-19 on the season.
Lippo finished with three hits, two runs, an RBI, and a stolen base on the afternoon.
Presque Isle is in the thick of its schedule, with six games set for next week.
The Owls have doubleheaders Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, with 12 games total left on the regular season schedule.
Lippo, a UMPI sophomore, has been at the forefront of the stat chase all season.
Skyy’s twin brother leads the Owls in at-bats (80), runs (19), triples (2), home runs (1), RBI (16), walks (9), and stolen bases (4), and is second in batting average (.342) and hits (28).
