High school baseball: Thirty-six years later, former Major Leaguer Kevin Lomon still tops list of most consecutive pitching wins with 62

Bolemon is the only active player on our list of prep pitchers with the longest streak of consecutive wins. He had 11 wins last year, nine as a sophomore and eight as an eighth grader. He is not listed with any pitching decisions as a freshman and he has yet to pitch a game this year. His last win was a no-hitter with 19 strikeouts in the South Carolina state final.

Kevin Lomon of Cameron (Okla.) tops the list with 62 consecutive wins, however his total includes an asterisk. Cameron played fall and spring baseball and Lomon's streaks occurred over two fall seasons and two spring seasons combined. The NFHS record book does not recognize Lomon's streak since it occurred over two separate seasons of sport, however MaxPreps is including the record here with clarification. Lomon would actually be on the list twice since he won 30 games in a row during the fall seasons and 32 games in a row during the spring. The only other pitcher to make the list twice is Kelly Owens of Junction City (Ark.). He won 32 games to start his high school career, lost a game, and then won 31 to finish his career.

The most famous win streak belongs to Sports Illustrated cover boy Jon Peters of Brenham (Texas). As a high school senior in 1989, Peters received national acclaim for breaking the win streak not once, but twice.

As a junior in 1988, Peters picked up his 34th straight win to apparently break the national record of 33 in a row by Mike Pill of California. Peters received national attention, featuring in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd and on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

Except that he hadn't broken record.

Clyde Parrish, a former coach at McColl in South Carolina, notified the NFHS about Tim Moore, a former McColl pitcher who won 52 straight games from 1977 to 1980. While Moore's name appeared in the South Carolina record book, the record had not been submitted to the NFHS record book.

Undaunted, Peters went into his senior year in 1989 with this streak intact and eventually surpassed Moore in late May of 1989. This time, Sports Illustrated put Peters on the cover with the headline "Superkid".

There is still some mystery surrounding Moore's win totals, however. In an Associated Press story in 1988 about the mixup with Peters, Moore was listed with 50 straight wins. However, the current edition of the record book lists Moore with 52 consecutive wins, as does the NFHS record book.

Additionally, several accounts in South Carolina newspapers in 1979 list Moore with a loss during his season and give his final record for his junior year at 11-1. That would put his 52 (or 50) straight wins into dispute. Until we have further information, however, we will list Moore with 52 straight wins.
