The Bathurst native and St Pat's Old Boys junior bagged a hat-trick in his first grade match for Mosman against Sutherland on Saturday.
Overall, he took an incredible 6-58 off 13 overs, with Mosman in control heading into day two next Saturday.
Played at Glenn McGrath Oval in Caringbah, Parsons got busy early when he dismissed opener Andrew Daitz (22) and number three and skipper Thomas Doyle (a duck), both for lbw and the first two Sutherland wickets to fall.
Sutherland were at 4-137, looking to build a strong lead, when Parsons stepped up for his big moment.
The first the fall was Austin Waugh, out for five, before Tharindu Kaushal and Andrew Ritchie all fell in succession, allowing Parsons to achieve the rare feat of a hat-trick.
Parsons would get one more wicket, the dismissal of Rhys Cattle for three, the ninth Sutherland wicket to fall.
In reply to Sutherland's innings, Mosman brought up a score of 2-59 off 28 overs, with Stirling McAvoy (36) and Ryan Hicks (20) unbeaten heading into day two.
Parsons is yet to bat but has been named as the fifth batter.

He belted a score of 154 off 198 balls to help Queanbeyan to a massive 197-run win over Eastlake.
