TAMPA, Fla. – Led by Florida Atlantic baseball alum Pat Murphy ('82), the Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series in franchise history on Wednesday night. The Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, four games to one, capped off by a 4-1 victory in game five.
Murphy is the two-time National League Manager of the Year after guiding Milwaukee to 103 wins and a third consecutive NL Central Division title. The Brewers went 10-2 in the playoffs. They defeated the San Diego Padres in four games in the NLDS and swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
Murphy was a key piece in the first two seasons of Florida Atlantic Baseball in 1981 and '82. He was inducted into the FAU Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.
