Jackson Merrill's girlfriend, Sammie Quinn, graduated from Arizona State University in April. A month after the accomplishment, when Quinn met fellow teammate of Merrill, pitcher Jeremiah Estrada's girlfriend, Jianna, a special gesture was in the waiting.
On Monday, the San Diego Padres faced the Miami Marlins at Petco Park. In the background of this matchup, Jianna presented Quinn with a floral gift to celebrate her graduation.
Jianna documented the whole surprise with her social media stories. In the first story, she posted a picture of a freshly-cut flowers bouquet, which included red roses, chamomile and yellow blooms. They were placed on the passenger seat of her car.

“Because every grad deserves flowers 💐🎓”
Another slide captured Jianna with one of the graduates, accompanied by the caption:
"Brains, beauty, and a diploma ❤️”
