FAYETTEVILLE — Their freshman seasons at Arkansas didn’t end with a trip to Omaha, but catcher Dylan Leach and right-handed pitcher Gabe Starks wound up playing together in a World Series in 2021.
They concluded their summer baseball season by winning the NBC World Series. The NBC — short for National Baseball Congress — is an organization of 17 amateur leagues in North America, including popular college summer leagues in California, Alaska and Kansas.
