It also showed in the way shortstop CJ Trask instinctively covered second to turn a lineout double play, and the way outfielder Cade Palkowski approached his at-bats and aggressiveness on the base paths. This is a group that has been there before, having reached the WIAA Division 1 sectional playoffs each of the last three seasons, including a sectional finals appearance the Knights lost 2-0 to rival Franklin.
