Olivia Dunne celebrated a major accomplishment by her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, in a more laid-back manner.
Skenes was named as a National League All-Star for this year's MLB All-Star Game - a remarkable accomplishment in his rookie season.
In the locker room, Pirates manager Derek Shelton gave a speech about how Skenes and teammate Bryan Reynolds were off to the All-Star Game and handed them both a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne.
But back at Casa de Dunne, the former LSU gymnast had a much more low-key affair planned out for her beau.
'Surprising my bf after finding out he's an MLB All Star,' she wrote alongside a clip which showed balloons - spelling out 'All Star' - and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne, as well a pizza from the popular local sandwich shop Primanti Bros.

Across this season, Skenes has been dominant on the mound - tossing a 2.12 ERA with a WHIP of 1.01 and totaling 78 strikeouts.
He's also recently just smashed a record just ten starts into his Major League Baseball career.
Skenes has recorded seven or more strikeouts in nine of his first ten starts - something no other pitcher has ever done.
The pitcher recorded eight strikeouts and only gave up two earned runs on four hits across seven innings of work to notch the fifth win of his career as Pittsburgh beat the New York Mets 14-2.
Things have been smooth sailing for Skenes - who's been living the good life alongside his girlfriend Olivia Dunne.
Skenes posted six photos in the post with four containing the LSU gymnastics national champion in a June photo dump on Instagram.

Two of the photos containing Dunne appear to be at a concert, while another pair were from the couple's recent boat trip onto one of the three rivers of Pittsburgh.
The photos that do not have Dunne in them are of Skenes' dogs and a selfie with fellow Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones.
Also on the boat was Jones' girlfriend, Rylie Fox, and Pirates pitcher Kyle Nicolas.
Skenes and Dunne have been dating about a year since the couple met as student-athletes at LSU.
