Lippo a Maine masher

Joey Lippo had a strong Sunday, but it wasn’t quite enough to save his team.

The Coupeville High School grad racked up two hits, scored a run, and knocked in another, but the University of Maine at Presque Isle fell 6-4 to host Husson University.

The loss drops the Owls to 0-10 on the season, while the high-flying Eagles sit at 15-4.

Lippo lashed an RBI single to right in the top of the second Sunday, but UMPI couldn’t hold on to an early 2-1 lead.

Husson broke things open with a four-run surge in the bottom half of the inning, then held on when the Owls rallied late.

UMPI pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh, and final, inning to tighten things up, with Lippo singling and coming around to score.

On the season, the former Wolf is third on his team in hits (six) and RBI (two), while playing strong defense in the outfield.

Lippo has also appeared as a pitcher, throwing 1.1 innings for the Owls, who play at the NCAA D-III level.

UMPI has 10 games left on its schedule, with five games apiece against Northern Vermont University-Lyndon (April 30-May 2) and the University of Maine-Farmington (May 6-10).

Lippo a hit as college baseball player

Well, at least one guy on the roster is raking.

Get eight other hitters to swing bats like Coupeville’s Joey Lippo is, and the ol’ win/loss record will take a marked improvement.

The baseball squad at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, an NCAA D-III school, is scuffling a bit as it looks for its first victory.

The Owls, who opened March 27, then had eight games postponed thanks to the pandemic, got back at it the past two days, playing a pair of doubleheaders against Thomas College.

Unfortunately, UMPI, with a still-depleted roster, lost two games Sunday and another two Monday to fall to 0-5 at the quarter mark of what currently sits as a 20-game campaign.

Lippo has been doing his part, however, both at the plate and in the field.

With a stick in his hands, the former Wolf three-sport star is hitting a cool .300, and is among team leaders in several offensive categories.

Coupeville’s progeny has seen action in four games, racking up 12 plate appearances, 10 at-bats, three hits, an RBI, and a .364 on-base percentage.

In the field, Lippo has been patrolling the outfield for UMPI, already showing off a strong arm.

He gunned down one runner heading into second, and seemed to have another rival beaten, with his throw reaching third before the incoming runner arrived.

Whether the tag was a split-second late, or the local ump was missing his seeing-eye dog, Lippo was denied an assist on the play, but shrugged it off and moved on with his day.

UMPI returns to action April 22-25, when it faces off with Husson University for five games in four days.

The Owls have similar five-game stands scheduled against Northern Vermont University-Lyndon (April 30-May 2) and the University of Maine-Farmington (May 6-10).

During his days in Coupeville, Lippo played tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves.

While he plays college hardball, twin sister Skyy is studying dance at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
