CELINA — Paris High scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back on its way to a 10-1 win against Van Alstyne on Saturday to finish undefeated in district play for the 10-3A title in a game where the teams had to search for a dry field to play.

Lance Fields and Chase Harvey had doubles for the Wildcats (21-4, 10-0). Fields also pitched the first three innings, with Dillon McEwin picking up the win with three innings of relief.

The loss sends Van Alstyne into a 7:30 p.m. play-in game Tuesday against Bonham, where the winner picks up the district’s third seed, while the losing team goes home. North Lamar is the 10-3A’s No. 2 team.
