Wednesday night was a night of celebration for Centenary Gents baseball players as they were about to suit up and go on the field for the final time at home this season. It was also a memorable day for Centenary pitcher Craig Littleman and his girlfriend Ashleigh Schebesta. The couple got engaged on the field!

With 10 minutes to go before game time on a hot and humid late Wednesday afternoon at Shehee Stadium, fans watched their Gents warming up for their game against the crosstown rival LSU-Shreveport Pilots.

After one of two first pitches on the afternoon was thrown from a teenager from the Special Olympics of Northwest Louisiana, Craig Littleman's girlfriend, Ashleigh Schebesta, was patiently waiting for her chance to throw out her pitch.

Schebesta walked out to the mound and her boyfriend jogged behind home plate. She already knew which pitch she had in mind. She threw a perfect curveball to Littleman, who quickly jumped up to accept a loving hug from his girlfriend.

After Littleman put Schebesta back to the ground, he pulled a box out of his back left pocket, and slowly got on one knee and proposed. She did not take a second to say yes.
