With a 0-2 count to lead off the bottom of the fifth, Melendez lifted a solo shot over the left field wall for his first home run in a Panthers uniform.
 
Matthew Gonzalez led FIU with a pair of base knocks and a stolen base on the night. Jonah Ravelo collected his first-career hit on Saturday night with a pinch-hit single in the ninth.
