Seton Catholic softball coach Jerry Mullin has four state championships (2002 through 2005 when the Sentinels were a 3A school) but only one daughter who’s about to graduate college.
Family comes before fastballs, so the Sentinels will try to win their first 4A-II title and dethrone defending champion Phoenix Greenway late Friday afternoon without their skipper.
Mullin left the team Wednesday and flew to Knoxville, Tenn., to watch his daughter, Meghan, play in her final NCAA Tournament for the University of Nebraska.
Meghan is a co-captain this season and the outfielder is a three-year leadoff hitter for the Huskers.
Fourteen-year assistant Gary Davis has run the Sentinel show this week in place of Mullin.
