OXFORD, Ohio – Central Michigan won the battle of the hits, but could not make them count on Sunday in fall to Miami (Ohio), 5-2, in the finale of a three-game Mid-American Conference baseball series at the RedHawks' Hayden Park.

The Chippewas dropped all three games of the series and are 18-23, 9-15 MAC. They go to Notre Dame on Tuesday for a nonconference game and then entertain Grace Christian on Wednesday at Theunissen Stadium.

The sweep leaves CMU in ninth place in the MAC. The top six teams in the conference standings earn a berth in the league tournament. CMU trails sixth-place Ball State, which is 14-10 in league play, by five games with nine remaining.

Miami (28-13, 16-7) seized a 4-0 lead after two innings on Sunday against CMU starter Gavin Moczydlowsky (1-3), who surrendered four runs on five hits, walked two and struck out two over four innings.

The Chippewas, who outhit the RedHawks, 10-6, got a run in the third on a Miguel Correa Jr. sacrifice fly and one in the fourth on Brady Krzciok's leadoff homer, his ninth round-tripper of the season.

CMU stranded 11 baserunners and left the bases loaded in the eighth.

Spencer Verburg singled, doubled and tripled to lead CMU at the plate, while Cole Prout, Drew Loikits, Logan Keilen and Cole Prout had two hits apiece.

Clayton Burke, who held the Chippewas scoreless over 3 2/3 innings in relief, earned the win. Clayton Burk, who came on to get a strikeout to end CMU's eighth-inning threat, picked up the save.
