Mustache March coming to an end for SIU baseball

Junior infielder Ryan Sabo runs toward first base during SIU’s 2-2 tie with St. John’s on Sunday at Itchy Jones Stadium.

This season six SIU baseball players grew mustaches for their own month-long holiday they named "Mustache March."

They come in different thicknesses and lengths. Some blonde, and some black. But it's not the appearance that matters, it's the effort.

Last season, junior infielder Ryan Sabo's roommate and former outfielder, Parker Osborne was the lone Saluki to grow his lip hairs out, thus creating Mustache March.

Sophomores Greg Lambert, Hunter Anderson, Logan Blackfan, juniors Ryan Smith, Sabo and senior Taylor Martin have all participated in some capacity in Mustache March this season.
