In the third inning, the LSU gymnastics star – decked out in a personalized Skenes jacket – was interviewed by Sportsnet Pittsburgh live on air, and she was full of admiration for her other half.

‘I had some nerves creep in at first, but I’ve kind of channeled it into excitement rather than nerves, and I just have the most confidence in him ever,’ she began. ‘I just trust in him, and what he’s put in, and I’m just so excited.

‘It’s amazing, the support here is awesome. Pittsburgh has been so welcoming. Just seeing people wearing Air Force stuff, LSU stuff, Skenes jerseys.’

Opening up on the moment Skenes got the call to join the Pirates in the majors, Dunne added: ‘All I can say is I think that’s the quickest I’ve ever packed in my life.

‘We woke up from a nap, he had a few missed calls, and he got called up. He was like, “let’s pack” and then we hit the road. It was very exciting!
