From one of our Lady Rambler Alumni...

Hi! My name is Sadie Osborn. I was a pitcher and utility player, graduating in 2025. Some of my best memories are on the field and with my team. I currently attend Danville Area Community College (online) to earn my degree in Radiologic Technology. I work as a CNA & Photographer. My boyfriend and I just recently moved to Warren County and have a beautiful home in the country.

My favorite memory was during my senior year. It had been raining all week and we didn’t get a single game in, but Coach Davis still insisted that we put the tarp on the field. I think he realized we weren’t going to play the next day because he let us have a slip n’ slide party on the tarp. We slid as a team and even got in a small game of wiffle ball.

Coach Ingram has asked me to talk about some of the challenges i’ve had to overcome. My senior year was my best but worst year. Softball wise, it was incredible. I was making plays, pitching some of the best I ever had, and I grew friendships with some of the younger girls on the team. Health wise, it was one of my worst. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 14. My seizures were the worst my senior year. During softball season I had some of the worst seizures, one of those being taken to the hospital via ambulance and getting intubated and life-lined because the seizure was going on too long and my airway wasn’t able to keep up during my seizure. Throughout my senior year and entire softball career, I had plenty of seizures and battles that set me back. My advice to any girl struggling with any health issues while trying to play their sport is to be determined. Never let anything get in the way of your sport. Even if you have to spend some games on the bench, cheering your team on, continue to show up because that’s where you’ll make some of the best memories.

I had one more seizure that got me life-lined the summer after senior year. Ever since i’ve slowly been getting better, getting my health right, and managing my seizures with the help of my Epileptologist, Neurologist and Neurosurgeon.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Sadie. You are definitely an inspiration with everything you have had to overcome in your life. You have shown such strength and courage. Miss Sadie also does excellent photography work and has offered to take pictures of the team next season. We definitely look forward to it.

I thought maybe it was time to share my story as well with so many past players sharing theirs. Coaching is a passion of mine; it’s in my blood and always will be. Being able to work with the youth in our community is something I completely enjoy; something I consider a privilege to be able to do. I wanted to share a little about my early days with you and why working with youth means so much to me.

Growing up I played every sport imaginable. I literally didn’t come inside until it was getting dark and I was on the verge of getting in trouble, lol. I played sports all the way through middle school; basketball, football, baseball, and I was pretty good at them. But in high school I didn’t have that opportunity anymore. Life changed at home with mom having to work in the evenings to make ends meet and me having three younger siblings (I was the oldest by 10 years). So, I did what I had to do and stood up to help take care of them. My days consisted of going to school, working my after-school job for a few hours, and then going home to take care of my siblings. This involved watching them as they played outside and chasing the two younger ones around the yard when they didn’t want to come in. Then it was cooking and feeding them dinner, the occasional trip to get ice cream, getting them bathed, and then putting them to bed. After that it was an hour or two of homework and then to bed myself usually around 11 or 12.

One might think I look back now and have resentment, but I don’t. Sure, I wish things could have been different. But then I may not be who I am today. Those days made me responsible, they made me dependable, they made me willing to do whatever I had to for others, for our youth. And, I’d like to think it helped make those three siblings who they are today.

I started coaching just by chance in 1998 because a 12U team needed a coach. And guess what, I found out I wasn’t too bad at it, and I completely fell in love with it. I guess if you can take anything away from my story it’s this, never take for granted the things you are fortunate enough to be able to do today. One day you may look back and say ‘dang, I wish I would have played basketball, I wish I would have tried out for that play when I was a junior, I wish I would have tried softball’. Do everything you can in your youth because one day you’re going to be old and grey like the coach in this picture. Then all you’re going to have is body aches, work, and having to mow the yard, lol.

Take care my friends, and thanks for listening.

My name is Kaylynn Kirkpatrick, formerly #14, & 3rd base player from 2011-2014 on the Rambler softball field. I was graciously asked by one of my newest enemies, Andy Ingram, to post an update since my time as a Lady Rambler!!

These days, I spend my time coaching the game. I have spent the past 7 seasons as a coach at Covington High School. (Sorry Andy 👀)

My biggest takeaway since the day I walked onto that field is the time put in is exactly what you will get out of it. I look back to my days as an athlete and am forever grateful for the discipline it instilled in me. Those 5:30am practices, spending time in the gym in the off season, and working for my spot; that’s what made me realize that nothing is handed to you. Athletes today, I encourage you to work toward your best, disciplined self. Be a better you than you were yesterday. And that doesn’t just mean on the field.

You don’t take days off. You look your coach in the eye when he or she is talking. You don’t stand around waiting for others to get the job done. Be a part of it.

After high school, I attended Indiana State University, spent 7 years in mental health and am now the Child Advocate Director at Hope Springs Safe House. I get the opportunity to serve my hometown and the surrounding communities. Thanks for reading! 🩷

Thanks for a very good message and for sharing your journey, Kaylynn! I hope it reaches a lot of players and makes them realize that if you want something, you have to go out there and earn it. On a personal note for our readers, Kaylynn and I our currently on a Sunday Co-ed softball team in Attica. We are kicking butt, and Kaylynn still has it!! However, come next high school season, we are back to enemy status, lol. Go Lady Ramblers!!

Passion, Intensity, Determination. The sheer willpower to succeed. She has it in her. She has the toughness to be a leader. Do you have it in you? Come challenge yourself and be part of a team that never gives up, and never backs down. We are Ramblers!

My name is Hayden Nichols. I graduated in 2025 and I was #27. I was a DH and played first base my senior year.

My biggest take away was that hard work pays off. In the moment it can be very frustrating whether you aren’t getting as much playing time as you’d like or you are in a slump, the hard work will pay off. Trust your coaches and know that they are doing what’s best for you and the team. Lastly, never give up and enjoy the time you have. It flies by so quick and suddenly it’s all just a past memory. The chemistry you create with your teammates is so important and some of the best friendships you could ever ask for.

Currently I am a sophomore at DACC, majoring in science as well as playing on the women’s golf team. I plan on transferring to IU South Bend next year to earn my bachelor’s in science for dental hygiene.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us Hayden. We wish you nothing but the best as you continue your studies and accomplish your goals! Go Lady Ramblers!!

Softball becomes a part of you. It turns into a passion full of highs and lows. But it always makes you want to come back for more. It makes you strive to be better. Come be part of the team, come be part of the family!

From one of our Lady Rambler Alumni...

My name is Joslyn Barnett and I was #24 and the catcher.

My biggest takeaway is probably just how much a game can be affected by the dynamic of the team. In softball, it really takes the whole team wanting to win and putting in the effort to see results. I would say that can translate to real life too. So my advice would be to never start a game, interview, competition, or anything else with doubt. Softball has seen so many comebacks and all of those start with a belief in each other and a commitment to playing well and having fun!

Lastly, my life update is that I am a sophomore at Manchester University majoring in Social Work and Psychology. I am also on the women’s wrestling team as well as many other involvements!

Thank you for sharing your story and advice, Joslyn. I will also add that Joslyn is my niece. I have watched her grow into the fine young adult that she is today. Remember the name Rambler Nation, because she's going to go far in life! Go Lady Ramblers!

We start building for next season tomorrow. Hoping to see a good turnout. Spread the word!!
