The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time after beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5.

Game 5 was played on Wednesday night, Oct. 28, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Milwaukee took the series four games to one.

The franchise began in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots and moved to Milwaukee the following year. It had never won a title until now.

Jacob Misiorowski threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed two hits. He left with a right calf cramp to a standing ovation.

Rookie Cooper Pratt opened the scoring in the second inning, singling to center to bring home Brice Turang for a 1-0 lead.

David Hamilton made it 2-0 in the fifth. In the sixth, William Contreras doubled in Christian Yelich and a Pratt sacrifice fly made it 4-0.

Pratt, 22, only made his major league debut in June. He set a Series rookie record with six straight hits.

Jackson Chourio also set a record, collecting 11 hits, the most ever in a five-game World Series.

The Rays scored their only run in the ninth inning on a Chandler Simpson double, and Trevor Megill closed out the win.

"I know the city has waited a long, long time for this," said Yelich, the Milwaukee captain.

The club's only other World Series trip came in 1982, when it lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.
