Emotional Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski reacts to Milwaukee’s historic World Series win

Jacob Misiorowski delivered the biggest start in Milwaukee Brewers history, and when it was over, he could barely put the moment into words. Misiorowski tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings as the Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field, clinching the first World Series title in franchise history.

Speaking to FOX Sports after the final out, the young right-hander was overcome with emotion.

"I don't even have words. You know, it's amazing. You know, just watching my guys celebrate," Misiorowski said. "You know, in this city. I know they're going crazy in Milwaukee. It's awesome."

When asked about his message to the fans in Milwaukee and Wisconsin, Misiorowski fought back tears. "They've been nothing but support for us this whole year and years prior, and it's been amazing," Misiorowski said. "I'm getting emotional."

The 24-year-old knew coming into the night that he had a chance to pitch the clincher, and he credited his catcher for helping him handle the moment.

"I couldn't have done it without him. And it's been amazing with him this whole season," Misiorowski said.

The flamethrower lived up to the billing. He allowed just two hits and reached 100 mph on 51 of his 86 pitches, including two pitches that hit 103 mph in the first inning. He exited with a four-run lead in the sixth after dealing with a cramp in his right calf . Trevor Megill handled the final two innings, getting Richie Palacios to ground out to end it.

The title came one night after the Rays avoided a sweep with a 12-inning walk-off win in Game 4. Misiorowski made sure there would be no further drama.

It caps a remarkable season for the 24-year-old , who went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts in the regular season. He led the majors in ERA, strikeouts and opponents' batting average, and he is widely expected to win the NL Cy Young Award next month .

The championship is the first for Milwaukee since the Braves won it all in 1957. The Brewers finished the regular season with a franchise-record 103 wins and went 11-2 in the postseason, knocking off the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers and Rays.

For Misiorowski and the Brewers, the wait is finally over.
