Hill Closed to Vehicles for a Month
Due to the construction of new intramural fields as part of the Saluki Way Project, the hill behind the first base dugout at Abe Martin Field will be closed to vehicles for at least a month. General seating on the hill, however, will still be permitted.

Tuesday's game marks the beginning of a 10-game homestand for the Dawgs. SIU plays 15 of its 21 scheduled games during the month of March in Carbondale.
In Home-Openers
The Salukis are 11-3 in home-openers under head coach Dan Callahan. SIU has a four-game winning streak in home-openers dating back to 2005.
