Joey Lippo got some postseason love.

The Coupeville High School grad earned a Gold Glove Award as a catcher for his work in the Aroostook Men’s Baseball League this summer, while also notching an invite to the All-Star game.

Lippo, who was a standout diamond player at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, was in his second season of summer ball.

Postgame fist-bumps for everyone.

Skyy’s twin brother played multiple positions for the Mavericks, who finished the regular season in second place.

Lippo and Co. fell to the third-seeded Bad News Bears in the playoffs, with that team going on to notch its second-straight title.

Before his time in Maine, where he also golfed for UMPI, Lippo was a three-sport star in Coupeville, playing tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves.

The best glove in the biz.

It’s like someone built a time machine and took the game back to the old days, when you could pitch until your arm fell off.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo, who is filling some of his summer days playing another season in the Aroostook Men’s Baseball League in Maine, had no use for the bullpen last week.

Instead, the former Wolf chucked 146 pitches, going all the way on the mound for the Mavericks as they pulled out a come-from-behind 8-7 win over the Bad News Bears.

Lippo, who recently graduated from the University of Maine at Presque Isle, whiffed seven across seven innings of work.

He also delivered two hits, two runs, and a stolen base while taking his own swings at the plate.

The Mavericks got Lippo the win when they rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh, walking things off with a two-run single from Aroostook League rookie Ben Thomas.

The nail-biter came on the heels of a 12-8 win over the Maineiacs, an expansion squad in the five-team conference.

That leaves Lippo and company in a first-place tie at 2-0 a week into the season.

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.

This could be the start of something good.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo collected three hits as the University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball squad snapped a nine-game losing streak on the diamond.

The Owls hammered the University of Maine at Farmington 12-4 in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday, nabbing their first victory since March 13.

Now sitting at 2-14 on the season, Lippo and Co., who also had several games rained out recently, have 12 contests left on the schedule.

The former Wolf, currently in his senior season at UMPI, has been doing his part, hitting .318 with 20 hits, 14 RBI, and 10 runs.

Lippo leads the Owls in at-bats (65), triples (1), and RBI, while he’s #2 in batting average and hits.

He’s also collected 41 putouts while patrolling the outfield for Presque Isle.

During his CHS days, Lippo played tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves, while at UMPI he has golfed in addition to his work on the diamond.

The sun is in their rearview mirrors.

After opening the season with seven games in Florida, University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball players return to the likely chillier weather of home.

The Owls, led by Coupeville grad Joey Lippo, who is lashing the ball in his senior campaign, wrapped their road trip Friday with a 22-10 loss to Salem State University.

UMPI, which sits at 1-6, is off until Mar. 21, when it opens a four-game series with Fisher College in Boston.

While the Owls didn’t get as many wins as they might have liked in Florida, Lippo was a bright spot.

The former Wolf is hitting .355, with 11 hits, eight runs, three walks, and 10 RBI.

Anchoring the team from the leadoff spot, he’s pacing UMPI in both at-bats (31) and runs knocked in, while also playing nearly spotless defense while patrolling the outfield.

Lippo is wrapping up a four-year run with the Owls in which he has played both collegiate golf and baseball.

Skyy’s twin brother was a standout tennis, basketball, and baseball player during his days in Cow Town.
