College World Series: Sujka's Late Run Can't Lift IU Past Miss. St.

Oak Forest native Chris Sujka scored in the ninth inning to bring Indiana University within a run of Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs held on for a 5-4 win Monday in the second game of the College World Series in Omaha, NE.

Like in his first College World Series game, Sujka, a freshman outfielder for the Hoosiers, came in as a pinch hitter, leading off the ninth inning with a single.

After a double moved him to third with no outs, Sujka scored on a groundout. But IU was unable to get anyone else home after that.

This round of the College World Series is double elimination, and IU (49-15, 1-1) faces Oregon State (51-12, 1-1) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 19. The winner will play Mississippi State (50-18) on Friday, June 21.

Although he's only had two pinch-hit at bats, Sujka and his enthusiasm has been gaining a lot of attention at the CWS. He was the lede in the Omaha World-Herald's feature on the Hoosiers, and he will be profiled this week in the Indiana Daily Student, IU's student newspaper.
