The conferences may change names, but the base knocks keep coming.
Coupeville grad Joey Lippo is spending part of his summer vacation rapping out hits while playing in the Aroostook Men’s Baseball League in Maine.
The former Wolf, who will be a senior at the University of Maine at Presque Isle this fall, is among the league leaders in multiple offensive categories while suiting up for the Mavericks in the five-team league.
Lippo and Co. are off to a 3-5 start in the wood bat league, with a 16-game regular season schedule which stretches from mid-June to mid-August.
A two-sport athlete at UMPI, where he plays golf and baseball for the Owls, he’s scheduled to graduate in 2024 after studying agriculture.
Lippo, who has played in seven of eight games for the Mavericks, is hitting .458 at the plate.
He leads his team in batting average, slugging percentage (.625), hits (11), RBI (9), and doubles (2).
Skyy’s twin brother has also racked up five runs, three steals, two walks, and a .464 on-base percentage, while not striking out a single time in 24 at-bats.
Very Tony Gwynn of him.
