Faith Friday

Welcome to Faith Friday, the weekly digital series from Extra Inning Softball that highlights the purpose behind the player. Designed for on-the-go, faith-driven readers, Faith Friday brings short encouragements, honest reflection, and bold conversations that remind us who we play for—on and off the field.
This week, LSU infielder Alix Franklin—a sophomore from St. Amant, La., and alum of St. Amant High School—shares a simple, anchoring truth: “I am second.”
Her message is about order and identity—putting God first, letting the game come next, and choosing to serve before being seen. It’s a perspective that travels from the cages to the classroom to the toughest late-inning moments.
Let this week’s Faith Friday nudge you to re-order your own list: God first, others next, and the game in its right place. When we choose “second,” we find the strength, peace, and clarity to show up as our best—no matter the count.
