Cooper Pratt only reached the majors in June. On Wednesday night he helped the Milwaukee Brewers win the World Series.

The 22-year-old shortstop set a World Series rookie record with six straight hits. He had two more hits and two RBIs as Milwaukee beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5.

"This is one of the greatest moments of my life. Oh my gosh. It doesn't even feel real," Pratt said. "This is surreal. It only took four months!"

His big night

Pratt put the Brewers ahead with an RBI single off Rays ace Drew Rasmussen in the second inning. He was later thrown out in a rundown between first and second.

He singled again in the fifth for his sixth straight hit in the series. Then he scored on a single by David Hamilton.

His streak ended with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. That fly ball still brought home a run and made it 4-0.

So close in Game 4

Pratt went 4 for 5 in Game 4 with a tiebreaking solo homer in the 12th inning. The Rays came back to win that night, but Pratt kept hitting in the clincher.

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

Built to last

Pratt took over at shortstop as a rookie and never gave it back. He has already signed an early contract extension, so Brewers fans should see him for years to come.
