Little Tommy Leach of Pittsburgh, hits two home runs at Boston

On August 14, 1902 –At South End Grounds, Little Tommy Leach of Pittsburgh, hits two home runs at Boston. He will close out the season with only 6, all inside-the-park, but it is enough to give him sole leadership of the National League, which totals only 99. Leach’s leading number is the lowest since Paul Hines hit four in a 60-game schedule in 1878.

Leach goes 4-5 on the day adding a double and drove in 3 of the Pirate runs all vs Boston Beaneater starter Mal Eason.
