He is hitting .321 for the North Fork Ospreys with three doubles, one homer and 12 RBIs. He has also taken the mound five times, striking out 18 over 18.2 innings.

Turquand made the start behind the plate for the National All-Stars of the Sunset Baseball League, going 1-for-2 in the game. He leads the Ventura County Bucs with 25 hits this spring and is hitting .362 with six doubles, one triple, one home run and 16 RBIs.
