Paris, a second-team All-American as a junior and G-MAC leader in doubles, mashed Lane pitching all weekend for a torrid offensive start to his senior campaign.
Paris batted .500 (6-for-12) at the plate and ripped four extra-base hits, including three doubles and a grand slam. He also scored seven times and drove in eight while additionally reaching base on a walk and hit-by-pitch.
Paris emptied the bases in the bottom of the third inning in the series finale, unloading on a pitch to score Seth Campbell, Cody Bridges and Jacob Snodgrass. He hit five home runs last spring.
Batting second in the order in his season debut, Paris lit up the Dragons for two doubles, three RBI and three runs, on Friday.
He legged out his third double of the weekend in KWC’s no-hit effort and a 13-0 shutout while going 2-for-4 at the dish.
The Panthers outscored Lane by a combined score of 57-4 in their first three games of the season.
