Last year, Austin Riley had arguably the best World Series performance in league history to lift Ohio to a title. This year, Luis Robert may have topped that in the first round. On Friday, Robert went 5-5 and drove in 9 as the Outlaws cruised past Kansas City 13-2 to punch a ticket to the 2024 World Series. Robert finished the first round with 6 doubles, 3 homers, 11 RBI and a .519 average.
The 2024 World Series will be a rematch of the 1990 World Series which saw Tigers stun Ohio in seven games in a series that remains controversial to this day. The 1990 title is the only in Tiger history as they hope to add another. For Ohio, they are looking for a repeat performance from their 2023 Championship season.
