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.

No games, but plenty of photos.

With spring break having sprung, Coupeville High School sports teams are taking a few days off between competitions.

But, thanks to photo whiz kid John Fisken, you can fill at least 11.2 seconds of the down time perusing the photos seen above and below.

They come from Wolf tennis, track, softball, and baseball games, and you can practically feel the rain, wind, and cold temps of spring sports in each new image.

Mighty mashers maul league rivals

They like getting on base.

Rapping out nine hits Tuesday, then tacking on 12 walks, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad cruised to a big win on Orcas Island.

By the time the Wolves were done tapping home plate, they had a 16-4 win — in a game mercy-ruled after six innings — and headed home with their fourth victory in their last five games.

Now 4-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-4 overall, Coupeville sits a half-game out of first place in the NWL, trailing just defending champs Friday Harbor (4-0).

The Wolves get a few days off to enjoy spring break, returning to action Apr. 11 with a road trip to Sultan for a non-conference tilt.

Everyone chipped in Tuesday, with 10 different Wolves reaching base, and seven of those players slapping a hit.

Cody Roberts mashes.

Coupeville got out to a quick start, pushing three runs across in the top of the first thanks to singles from Hawthorne Wolfe and Scott Hilborn packaged around a walk to Jonathan Valenzuela.

Orcas scraped out a run in the bottom of the first, and another in the second, cutting the deficit to 3-2, before the Wolves slammed their foot on the gas pedal.

A six-run burst in the top of the third, keyed by a Xavier Murdy double and a single off of Jack Porter’s bat, busted things open.

From there, CHS cruised in for the win, tacking on three more runs in the fourth, before closing things out with a four-run rally in the sixth.

Wolf pitchers Cody Roberts and Hilborn combined to whiff nine Vikings, scattering five hits and not giving up more than a single run in any inning.

Tuesday stats:

Chase Anderson — 1 single, 1 walk
Peyton Caveness — 1 walk
Scott Hilborn — 2 singles, 1 walk
Alex Murdy — 2 walks
Xavier Murdy — 1 single, 1 double
Jack Porter — 1 single
Cody Roberts — 1 double, 1 walk
Sage Sharp — 2 walks
Jonathan Valenzuela — 1 single, 3 walks
Hawthorne Wolfe — 1 single, 1 walk

Hit the pause button.

Just as outdoor sports get really rolling, spring break arrives and radically reduces the number of games being played.

The week ahead features just one game apiece for Coupeville High School baseball and softball, with both varsity teams traveling Tuesday to Orcas Island.

Meanwhile, Wolf girls tennis and track and field have nothing to look forward to except practice.

While we wait for things to kick back into high gear — it’ll happen the next week — take a gander at season-to-date Northwest 2B/1B League standings for three spring sports which keep track of win/loss records.

Where things sit through Apr. 3:
