Paul Skenes may have played a pivotal role in taking Team USA past the Dominican Republic 2–1 in a dramatic World Baseball Classic semi-final, but the spotlight quickly swung to his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, who was present among the audience.

The former LSU gymnast graced the loanDepot park in Miami, Florida, for the USA vs. Dominican Republic match to support her boyfriend, Skenes. However, the mirror selfie that she posted to her Instagram story, displaying her attire for the outing, turned a lot of heads.

The gymnast rocked a white tank top with SKenes’ iconic No. 30, imprinted over her bust. She matched it with high-waist blue denim bottoms, light boots, and a dark orange frontal zip-closure jacket. “Let’s Go, USA,” she captioned as she flaunted her ‘Game-Day’ outfit.

That’s not all. Following that, she shared another story captioning, "big USA Dub," after Team USA’s win.

Being a fashion statement herself, her outfit matched the occasion's mood perfectly as Team USA edged past the Dominican Republic, while her boyfriend delivered where it mattered most.

Paul Skenes Delivered Against a Packed Dominican Republic Team

While Olivia Dunne turned heads with her fashion on the field, Paul Skenes made sure the nation had something to cheer for, powering Team USA from the semifinals to the final. Facing a loaded Dominican Republic lineup, the 23-year-old delivered when his team needed him most.

The former Air Force cadet allowed only one run across 4.1 innings while striking out two. Speaking about the D.R. lineup, Skenes admitted that this was the “toughest line-up he has ever faced.”

“D.R is the toughest line-up I have ever faced for sure. I think they would probably say the same thing about facing us. Expectation-wise, it’s been awesome,” said the 23-year-old.

Skenes battled through adversity and exited after 71 pitches, finishing his WBC run with a stellar 1.08 ERA and nine strikeouts.

However, with Team USA crossing the semi-final challenge now, Skenes will be looking to put up the performance of his life in the finals against the winner of Italy and Venezuela.

But are you expecting 'Livvy' in the audience for the finals as well, given that her boyfriend and Team USA have already made it?
