Carr Reaches 24 straight, breaks Franchise Record

3b Ryan Carr set a Franchise record earlier today in the Wichita Black Lightning's shelling of the Tacoma Amber Flashlongs.

Carr extended his hitting streak to 21 games with his 2nd inning Grand Slam.

Carr's streak currently sits at 24 games, which breaks Nick Hunter's franchise record of 20 games set in season 5 and is 18 games behind Ted Wilson's record of 40 games.

Right behind Carr is teammate Peter Elster who is currently sitting with a 23 game hit streak.

"I want to beat him bad," Elster said after today's game.

While Carr's answer to the question was a little more team oriented "We're here to win games for Wichita. Period. If that means I help out with a nice hitting streak so be it, but I really couldn't care less about the personal accolades, I want to be playing and winning in October."
