Feb. 19 was a sunny afternoon that was about to get brighter for sophomore left-hand pitcher Matthew Calvert and then-girlfriend Amanda Love. Before the game, Calvert caught the ceremonial first pitch from Easton Calvert, their son. Before they could walk off the field, Calvert handed the ball to his son and dropped to one knee to propose to Love on the diamond.
Her answer to his question was “yes.”
Calvert attended Clay-Chalkville High School and played four seasons of baseball under Head Coach Bubba Roberts, according to UABsports.com. Love also attended Clay-Chalkville High School, and the lovebirds met there.
