Episode 104: Braxton Burnside

Senior shortstop Braxton Burnside is Arkansas’ brand new single-season home run record holder and the glue that holds the Razorback softball team together. But it took her a while to find a home with the Hogs. The small-town Paragould, Ark., native set the high school home run record in the state, but was passed over by the Hogs during the recruiting process, only ever receiving a single letter from her home-state team. Without much interest from her dream school and a strong desire to play in the SEC, Burnside committed to Missouri, where she found success. After a coaching change in Columbia, she decided to transfer, and only had eyes for the Razorbacks. This is the story of how a small-town Arkansan — who only ever wanted to be a Hog — found her way home.
