Things are trending upwards.

Sparked by Coupeville grad Joey Lippo, the University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball squad swept a doubleheader Thursday, running its winning streak to three games.

The Owls bopped the University of Maine at Farmington 6-1 and 18-5 in the twin-bill, improving to 6-19 on the season.

UMPI, which won just a single game last season, is starting to find its groove, and a big part of the credit goes to Lippo and his deadly bat.

The former Wolf, now a college sophomore, filled up the stat sheet Thursday, piling up two hits — including a double — two RBI, two walks, four runs, and a stolen base.

On the season, Skyy Lippo’s twin is one of just two Owls to have appeared in all 25 games.

Joltin’ Joey leads the UMPI hardball squad in runs (23), triples (2), RBI (18), and walks (11), and is tied for top honors in stolen bases (5) and home runs (1).

The former CHS three-sport star is second in at-bats (88) and hits (30), and third in batting average (.341), on-base percentage (.412), and slugging percentage (.455).

Lippo and Co. have 10 regular season games remaining, with four of them coming up this weekend, when UMPI is set to play back-to-back doubleheaders against Husson University.

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).

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.

Joey Lippo and his #1 fan, mom Connie.

The stats are there, just not the wins.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo continues to pile up numbers while playing baseball for the University of Maine at Presque Isle, though the Owls still need to work on improving their win/loss record.

UMPI was swept in a four-game weekend series against Fisher College, dropping doubleheaders Friday and Saturday to run its season mark to 2-13.

Lippo went down fighting, however, racking up six hits, three runs, two walks, and an RBI while starting all four games.

The former Wolf tops the Owls in runs (14), hits (19), RBI (8), walks (8), and batting average (.404) this season, and is tied for #1 in triples (1) and home runs (1).

He’s second in on-base percentage (.474) and slugging percentage (.553).

Lippo, who was a three-sport athlete during his high school playing days, is a sophomore at UMPI.

Joey Lippo and mom Connie hang out in Florida.

Time to pack the bags and head home.

Coupeville High School grad Joey Lippo and his college baseball team capped a nine-games-in-five-days run through Florida Thursday, winning their getaway game.

The University of Maine at Presque Isle earned a split on the day, falling 10-5 to Colby-Sawyer College, before rebounding to win the nightcap 13-9.

Lippo and the Owls sit at 2-9 on the season.

The former Wolf three-sport star piled up two hits, two RBI, three walks, and five runs across the Thursday doubleheader.

Through 11 games Lippo leads Presque Isle in batting average (.389), RBI (9), runs (12), and walks (6), and is tied for the team lead in home runs (1).

The CHS grad and twin brother of dance supernova Skyy Lippo is second on the Owls in hits (14), triples (1), on-base percentage (.444), and slugging percentage (.583).

After its southern marathon, Presque Isle is off until Mar. 26, when it takes the field in Massachusetts to face Fisher College.
