Cooper Pratt makes World Series history in back-to-back games

The Brewers rookie has made World Series history in back to back nights.

Cooper Pratt makes World Series history in back-to-back games

In a historic performance, Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt made World Series history in both Game 4 and Game 5 of the 2026 World Series. The 22-year-old rookie set a new record by achieving six consecutive hits across Games 4 and 5, breaking the previous record of five consecutive hits set by Yankees infielder Brian Doyle in 1978.

Pratt's remarkable stretch included a go-ahead home run in the top of the 12th inning during Game 4, putting Milwaukee three outs away from clinching their first World Series championship. Despite Tampa Bay rallying to force a Game 5, Pratt carried his momentum into the crucial fifth game, adding another hit in his first at-bat and another in his second.

This record-breaking performance has made Pratt one of the biggest storylines of the Fall Classic and immediately placed him among the greatest postseason performances by a rookie in World Series history.
