Jacob Misiorowski brought to tears after Brewers’ first World Series win

Jacob Misiorowski held down the Tampa Bay Rays, but he couldn’t hold back the tears in the immediate aftermath of his Milwaukee Brewers’ first World Series victory.

Misiorowski shut down the Rays for 5 ⅔ innings before a right leg cramp finished his day on a mound that periodically gave him fits in the win.

Asked for his thoughts about what the win meant to the city of Milwaukee, Misiorowski expressed gratitude before the emotions of the moment took hold.

“Thank you. That’s it. They’ve been nothing but support for us this whole year and years prior, and it’s been amazing. … I’m getting emotional,” Misiorowski paused as tears welled in his eyes.

Misiorowski struck out two and kept the Rays off the board, allowing only two hits and a walk in claiming the win.
