MUNCIE, Ind. – Junior pitcher Carolyn Wilmes (Evansville, Ind./Matre Dei) marked one more item off her career to-do list Friday afternoon by throwing her first career no-hitter to help the Ball State softball team sweep a Mid-American Conference doubleheader over Toledo by scores of 2-1 and 9-4 at the Softball Field at First Merchants Ballpark Complex.
In leading the Cardinals (29-20; 13-4 MAC) to a 2-1 victory over the Rockets (20-30; 8-9 MAC) in Friday's opener, Wilmes became the first Ball State pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Elizabeth Milian blanked Buffalo in a 7-0 victory May 12, 2010 in the MAC Tournament.
