CHILLICOTHE — The Miami University baseball season ended Friday, May 22, with a 12-8 loss to Kent State in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference tournament.

Miami led Kent State 4-1 after 11/2 innings of their semifinal game, but the Flashes scored four in the bottom of the second to take a lead they would never relinquish.
Kent State (41-15) will play for the title today against the winner of Friday’s late semifinal between Eastern Michigan and Toledo.
Adam Eaton (3-for-4, home run, three RBIs, three runs), Jordan Petraitis (3-for-4, home run, RBI, two runs) and Chris Nadeau (1-for-4, home run, three RBIs, run) led the offense for Miami in the semifinal loss.
