McLaren will also look to senior SS/RHP, Camdon Kuppler, for offensive production.  The 5-foot-9, 160 pound Kuppler finished his Junior year hitting .351 with 3 2B, 17 RBI and also swiped 11 bags.  Sullivan Juniors Casey Garner, Cody Turner and John Cox all return with key roles this spring.  Garner, a 5-foot-6, 150 pound IF/P hit just under .300 as a sophomore while knocking in 15 runs and stealing 13 bases.  The 6-foot-1, 175 pound Turner posted 12 RBI last season while hitting .312 and Cox finished his sophomore season with a .341 BA, 20 RBI, and 8 SB.
