Leach (87) and Alfie Ogborne (51) added 68 for the eighth wicket which steered Somerset out of trouble.
Max Tryfonos top-scored with 46 for a Cornwall side missing their two professionals, Will MacVicar and Alex Blake.
Dorset lost by 140 runs to neighbours Hampshire at Wimborne where Toby Albert’s 132 was the centrepiece of Hampshire’s 336 for eight.
There were half-centuries for Fletcha Middleton (82) and Felix Organ – who played for Dorset in their National Counties Championship match against Wiltshire last weekend.
Will Tripcony replied with 92 but Dorset were undone by the pace of Muhammad Abbas, who finished with six for 31.
A century from George Bartlett (128) and a half-century from former Dorset wicketkeeper Lewis MacManus set up Northamptonshire’s 58 runs victory over Norfolk at Horsford.
Middlesex, who were beaten by Berkshire two years ago, avoided another banana-skin with a 118 runs win over Oxfordshire at Thame.
Luke Hollman, a former Berkshire all-rounder, top-scored with 73 for Middlesex and then took four for 68 to dismiss Oxfordshire for 215.
Worcestershire were the day’s early winners as they chased down Wales NC’s 182 inside 22 overs at Sudbrook.
Oxfordshire slow left-armer Tom Hinley took three for 37 on his Worcestershire debut and Ed Pollock, who began his county career with Herefordshire, plundered 120 not out from 66 balls to clinch a nine wickets win.
Wiltshire were beaten by seven wickets by Glamorgan on their return to Swindon.
Dylan Church continued his excellent recent form by making a half-century in Wiltshire’s 236 with Will Naish (49) again contributing useful runs down the order.
Seamer Ben Morris, who has played for Wales NC this season, took four for 57 before Tom Bevan – another Wales NC man – made 65 in Glamorgan’s successful chase.
Jersey international Asa Tribe saw Glamorgan home with more than ten overs to spare with 93 not out.
