By the time any athlete reaches the highest level of their given sport, you can bet that they’ve suffered their share of heartbreaking defeats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it doesn’t get much more challenging than what the Hornell High School (NY) varsity baseball went through a couple of weeks ago, losing the state championship game on May 27 to Palmyra-Macedon High on a dropped third strike, followed by\u00a0<\/span>a premature celebration<\/span><\/a>\u00a0during a live play.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s an excruciating way to end a season, but the team is at least getting some love from a major leaguer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yankees catcher Jose Trevino has reportedly reached out to the team to offer his support, per\u00a0<\/span>MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch<\/span><\/a>. Trevino said he felt bad for the players and also talked about how important high school baseball was for his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for high school baseball. It’s very important to me…. I just felt bad for the kid, for his teammates, thinking they had won the championship. I won two state championships in high school. I know the satisfaction of winning and going through a whole year with the guys you grew up with around your town. That means a lot. I just know how much it would have meant for them to win.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Trevino has invited the Hornell players to a home game at Yankee Stadium later this season.<\/span><\/p>\n
