The Penguins took an early lead in game one of Saturday's doubleheader, but the Seminoles used a seven-run first inning to take control on their way to a 24-2 win in seven innings.

Blaze Glenn drove in both YSU runs with a sacrifice fly in the top of the first and an RBI single in fourth. The Penguins were held to four hits as Jeff Wehler doubled and Phillip Glasser and Steven D'Eusanio each singled.

Florida State recorded 18 hits in the contest including 11 of the extra-base variety and six home runs. The Seminoles were led by Robby Martin who went 4-for-4 with a single, two doubles, a home run and six RBIs.

Lucas Nasonti was hit by a pitch to lead off the game and came around to score on Glenn's sacrifice fly to left that put YSU ahead 1-0.

The Seminoles used three home runs and a three-run triple in the home half of the first to answer with seven runs, and move in front for good. After adding a run in the second, FSU plated four the third, three in the fourth and nine in the sixth.

The Penguins' second run came in the top of the fourth when Wehler hit a leadoff double down the left field line and was driven home by Glenn. Later in the inning, Glenn was caught stealing for the first time in YSU career; he was a perfect 16-for-16 in stolen base attempts last season. The junior actually beat the throw easily but was tagged as the momentum from his slide took him off second base.

Jon Snyder suffered his second loss of the season while FSU starter CJ Van Eyk earned his second win. Van Eyk allowed two runs on three hits and fanned six batters over five innings.
