Anything else would have been ill-behaved to top-notch the no-hitter Wimmers threw for Ohio State in a 6-0 triumph over Michigan today in Bill Davis Stadium. Wimmers, a sophomore from Cincinnati Moeller, became the at the outset Buckeye to send a nine-inning no-hitter, the triumph to out a no-hitter since Greg Prenger in 2003 and the understudy to overturn a no-hitter against Michigan since Joe Sparma in 1963. "I couldn't demand for anything more," Wimmers said. "I guesswork I just had it today. I felt rational before the game.

I was a smidgen more perturbed because I just wanted to crush Michigan." It was an momentous victory for Ohio State (33-10, 12-4), which is in a four-team confound with Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana for the Big Ten regular-season championship. Michigan also had defeated OSU in 12 of the one-time 16 games. Wimmers was as robust in the ninth inning as he was in the first.

In the fourth inning, Ryan LaMarre sent Michael Arp against the breastwork in straightaway for the third out. "I made a groovy drop on it," Wimmers said. "It just kept carrying and I said, 'Just shore in the park.'" The most effective disport came with one out and a messenger on original in the eighth inning when Nick Urban sent a two-hop projectile up the middle. Shortstop Tyler Engle dove to his port just behind the surrogate unseemly carpet-bag and flipped to b baseman Cory Kovanda for the forceout. "That was awesome," Wimmers said.
