Overall in 2012, Himmelberg finished with an 8-2 record and 2.58 ERA while striking out 58 hitters over 73.1 innings. He ended his college career with a 26-11 record and 4.11 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 243.1 innings.

Rockhurst finished with a 35-19 record in 2012 and reached the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional in Ypsilanti, Mich. The Hawks posted a 123-91 record over the past four seasons with Himmelberg on the pitching staff.
