Sean Kazmar had two singles in Gwinnett’s loss Sunday to Nashville to move up to third on the all-time hits list for Atlanta Braves Triple-A players.

With his 643rd hit, Kazmar passed infielder Paul Runge, who had 642 hits with the Richmond Braves from 1981-88.

Kazmar, 36, has been with the Stripers since 2013. He was the story of baseball earlier this season. After spending over 12 years in the minor leagues since his last MLB appearance, the Braves promoted Kazmar to the majors in April.
