At Monday’s Tampa Bay Rays game, a woman named Melissa Dohme walked on the field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch — and it ended up being one of the sweetest first pitches we’ve ever seen.
Three years ago, Dohme was the victim of a domestic attack, when her then-boyfriend stabbed her 32 times, Fox Sports reports. The first responder on the scene to save Dohme’s life was Cameron Hill — and the two began to date after Dohme’s recovery.
At Monday’s game, Hill ran to the mound to present her with a ball. On it, he had scrawled, “Will you marry me?” As she realizes what it says, he drops to one knee. Watch the moment in this video from the Tampa Bay Times:
