PITTSBURGH — A Pennsylvania high school student couldn't bring her boyfriend to prom, so the two went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game instead.
Mary is a senior at North Catholic High School in Cranberry Township. Her boyfriend, John, is a college student. The school's policy did not allow him to go to the dance with her, WPXI-TV reported.
The couple were decked out in their suit and gown when they went to the game Wednesday night and, afterward, they got to go onto the field and have their last dance as Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" played over the speakers.
Before the night was over we understood that no prom night is complete without one last dance.

So with the help of many good folks at the park, we took them to the field for a moment they will always remember and a dance to Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight. pic.twitter.com/yVuIclCvR0
The team's photographer also took several photos of them in the infield.
Finally, no doubt the best prom pics ever. pic.twitter.com/nSj0iYythy
