Florida State baseball blasted four home runs at Dick Howser Stadium on Tuesday as the Seminoles took down Stetson, 9-5.

Cabell added a 2-run blast of his own in the fourth before Martin turned a 6-3 lead into a 9-3 lead in the sixth with a 3-run home run. Nelson’s nation-leading 20th home run — a solo shot in the first — got the scoring started for the Seminoles.

Cabell and De Sedas each finished with three hits and a pair of runs scored in the victory. Jorge Arenas had three of the 10 hits for Stetson and scored a run. Kyle Ball drove in a pair of runs in the loss.
