Olivia Dunne's special weekend: Paul Skenes' debut and Mother's Day celebration
It was a special week for Olivia Dunne, who potentially ended her college career with an NCAA championship in April. Last Wednesday, Paul Skenes and Livvy were in Indianapolis when they heard the update about Skenes getting a call-up to pitch on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.
The news was heartwarming for the duo, and they packed their bags for a six-hour road trip to Pittsburgh. As expected, Skenes took the mound against the Cubs, with Dunne cheering for him from the suits of PNC Park.
Talking about his grind, Olivia Dunne knew how Paul Skenes' major league debut was a result of hard work behind the scenes. She said while being interviewed at the ballpark.
"I have so many amazing memories with him, but I know how hard he’s worked for this moment," Dunne said.
"All the hours, I just know what a hard worker he is. This is probably one of my favorite moments I’ve ever seen. Seriously, there is nothing that can top this. I’m just so proud."
As far as Skenes' debut is concerned, he was stellar until the fourth-inning bug hit him. He allowed one run before giving way to a couple more before being pulled off in the fifth. However, he struck out seven hitters in his four innings of work.
