World Series Game 5 HIGHLIGHTS ⚾️ Brewers clinch 1st title in franchise history | ESPN MLB

Cooper Pratt supplies the opening hit; William Contreras supplies the opportunism. ESPN MLB's Game 5 recap shows Milwaukee building its championship-clinching lead through singles, a double and a catch that gives a runner just enough time to get home.

Contreras first drives Christian Yelich home with a ball off the left-field wall. Then, standing at third when Pratt pops out in foul territory, he tags up and slides safely across the plate. An out becomes another Brewers run.

Milwaukee wins 4-1 over Tampa Bay to secure the franchise's first World Series championship. Jacob Misiorowski escapes a scoring threat earlier in the reel, and Trevor Megill gets the final groundout after the Rays break through in the ninth. The recap ends with the players celebrating on the field.

The Short reached roughly 130,000 views in about a day, far beyond ESPN MLB's usual start for the format. Its comment section became a place for memories that stretch well beyond this game: a first overseas trip from Seoul to Milwaukee for technical training, summer nights listening to Bob Uecker on the radio, and grandparents who would have wanted to see this championship.

Supporters identifying themselves as Cubs, Blue Jays and Guardians fans also leave congratulations. For one lifelong Brewers viewer, the remarkable part is simply being able to say they finally saw it happen.
