He’s batting .1000.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo made the All-Academic team for the North Atlantic Conference twice during the 2022-2023 school year, honored for his classroom work during both the golf and baseball seasons.

A junior at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, the former Wolf is studying agricultural science and agribusiness.

To be eligible for the academic honor, a student had to notch a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0.

The NAC puts out two All-Academic Teams, one in the fall, and one in the spring, with the second one covering winter sports as well.

Lippo, who earned the Stanley H. Small Coach’s Award for his play on the field this spring, led the Owl baseball squad in runs (22), triples (2), and walks (12), while being one of five players to appear in all 35 games.

The former CHS star was second on UMPI in batting average (.295), at-bats (122), hits (36), total bases (46), and home runs (1), and third in OPS (.735), doubles (3), slugging percentage (.377), and stolen bases (6).

Normally an outfielder for the Owls, Lippo also made three appearances as a pitcher this season, whiffing four hitters in 11+ innings of work.

During his time in Coupeville, Joey, whose twin sister Skyy is pursuing a successful dance career, played tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves.

He did his part.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo put together a strong statistical season on the diamond this spring, even as his college baseball team struggled to win.

The University of Maine at Presque Isle, which wrapped its season with a doubleheader Sunday, finished 2-33 overall, losing its final 13 games.

Lippo, a two-sport college athlete who also plays golf for the NCAA D-III Owls, was a consistent performer on both sides of the ball, however.

He finished his junior season at UMPI ranked in the top three in 12 different offensive categories.

Lippo led the Owls in runs (22), triples (2), and walks (12), while being one of five players to appear in all 35 games.

The former CHS star was second on UMPI in batting average (.295), at-bats (122), hits (36), total bases (46), and home runs (1), and third in OPS (.735), doubles (3), slugging percentage (.377), and stolen bases (6).

Normally an outfielder for the Owls, Lippo also made three appearances as a pitcher this season, whiffing four hitters in 11+ innings of work.

Wolf alumni still have that lovin’ feeling for baseball.

Coupeville High School grads Hawthorne Wolfe and Joey Lippo are deep into collegiate hardball seasons in different parts of the country.

Wolfe is a freshman at Western Washington University, where he’s part of a Viking squad sitting at a sweet 10-6 on the season.

With the former Coupeville ace striking out a season-high six batters in a game this past weekend, WWU claimed two of three from the University of Washington to cement its status as the second-best team in their five-team conference.

The Vikings, who are 4-2 in league play, have 12 games left on the schedule.

Western hosts Gonzaga this coming Saturday and Sunday for three games, then gets a first-place showdown with the University of Oregon (12-4, 5-1) the following weekend.

On the season, Wolfe has pitched in a team-high six games, starting three, and is 1-0 with a save. His 16 strikeouts across 15+ innings of work ranks second among WWU hurlers.

Lippo, a junior outfielder at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, is having a solid season for a team struggling to improve its win/loss record.

The Owls are 1-18 heading into a pair of weekend doubleheaders with Thomas College in Waterville.

Coupeville’s alumni is hitting .258 — second-best on his squad — with 16 hits, eight runs, two triples, a home run, seven RBI, seven walks, and four steals.

Lippo also displays a nimble glove and a strong arm while patrolling the field for UMPI.

He’s a one-man wrecking crew, but he could use a little help.

Coupeville High School grad Joey Lippo swung the bat with conviction Sunday, filling up the stat sheet, but it wasn’t enough to save the University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball team.

Lippo, kicking off a run of eight games in five days in Florida, racked up four hits, including a triple and an inside-the-park home run.

Toss in three RBI, and three runs scored, and the former Wolf had a solid day.

Unfortunately, Lippo’s heroics weren’t enough to save UMPI, which fell 18-9 and 19-2 to Colby-Sawyer College.

With the losses, the Owls sit at 0-4 on the young season, with doubleheaders set for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday before it’s back to less-sunny surroundings.

UMPI squares off with Utica University, the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, and SUNY Poly during the remainder of their visit to the Sunshine State.

Lippo, a junior who plays baseball and golf for the Owls, leads his team in virtually every relevant offensive stat category, including being the only slugger currently hitting .300 or better.
