Aliza Phillips of South Philadelphia and Aaron Jones of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania went on their first date to the Phillies game after they met at Sunday's Eagles game and their whole encounter went viral.

When Phillips was walking out of the Lincoln Financial Field a mystery man offered her a bite of his pizza and she wanted to find out who he was so she took to social media the next day to track him down.

The two were able to reconnect and now their first date is one for the books.

The pair even shared a photo together outside the ballpark on their joint Instagram account @howimetyourfather215 with the caption "From the Linc to Citizens."
