In the first game of the LCISD Invitational on Thursday, Feb. 28, Sealy High School was unable to fight back from a large deficit and lost 8-7 to George Ranch after falling behind by seven runs in the fifth inning. Sealy scored six runs in the sixth on two three-run blasts, however, they weren’t able to take the lead back. Ashley Kopps hit a home run out of the park in the third inning and Brittney Morse racked up four RBIs on two hits for the Lady Longhorns. Morse also hit a home run in the third inning and doubled in the fifth inning.

An RBI double by Stephanie Money, an RBI triple by Brittney Morse in the first inning, a two-run home run by Reagan Coss and a two-run double by Morse during the second inning fueled George Ranch’s offense early.
