Order Out of Chaos
By John Becerra, Jr. - Bainbridge Island Review

Brittany Wisner has overcome a nightmare childhood to be a standout member of the Bainbridge fastpitch team.

When people talk about Brittany Wisner, one of the first things they mention is how hard she works and how much she talks – which is quite a bit.

“She’s loud, but in a good way,” teammate and friend Lindsay Willmann said.
Head coach Liz McCloskey said she was impressed with her from the moment she appeared on the field, even to the consternation of others.

“Some people questioned my thought of putting her on varsity because she was very outspoken because some people perceive that as being cocky and having a big head,” she said. “But that’s just her being a leader and loving the game and putting everything she has into it.”

Currently, Brittany is a starter for the Bainbridge fastpitch team and has been since her first game as a freshman at second base, quickly moving over to catcher and ensconcing herself at the position en route to being a two-year captain, a two-time All-Metro and All-Kitsap News Group selection.

That recognition comes from how hard she works at improving her overall game, from hitting off the pitching machine to fielding endless grounders to work on her overall fitness level.
