CINCINNATI – An Ohio high school softball coach threw a curve at the rival team's coach when he dropped to one knee on the diamond and asked for her hand in marriage. Glen Este High School varsity coach Tim Gregory and Milford High School coach Christy Foster had been dating more than two years before Wednesday's proposal.

Gregory says "softball is really what brought us together." Foster, of course, said yes to the proposal and called it perfect.

The ensuing game wasn't, though. Gregory's team won 1 to 0.
