The record is 15 in a row set by Carl Steinfeldt and Elmer in 1964 Ray Martin had strings of 18 and 10 consecutive doubles, while Elmer Hohl had strings of 13 and 9 consecutive doubles. That game ended Elmer Hohl's winning streak at 61 (record is 69 set by Fernando Isais). Elmer had won undefeated in 1968 averaging 88.2%, and also threw 88.2% in this loss which stopped his winning streak. He went on to finish runner-up to Dan Kuchcinski, but once again had the highest overall R% at 86.4%.
