One final swing.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo wrapped a four-year run as a two-sport collegiate athlete Monday.

After graduating from the University of Maine at Presque Isle over the weekend, the former Wolf took the field for a final time in an Owls uniform.

Lippo racked up a hit, a run, and a walk, as UMPI split a doubleheader to the University of Maine-Farmington.

Presque Isle won the opener 11-4, then fell 5-2 in the finale, ending the season at 4-26.

While the Owls struggled to find a winning rhythm during a rebuilding year under a new coach, Coupeville’s progeny put together a strong final campaign on the diamond.

Lippo smacked 27 hits, including three doubles, knocked in a team-high 15 RBI, and scored 18 runs as a senior.

Over his four-year run in Maine, Joe and Connie’s son played in 117 games, recording 412 at-bats, 79 runs, 117 hits, 11 doubles, five triples, two home runs, 52 RBI, 49 walks, and 16 stolen bases.

Skyy’s twin brother, who was a three-sport athlete during his CHS days, also played golf at UMPI, keeping busy in the months when baseball was dormant.
