RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - The U.S. team of college baseball players that has had a surprising unbeaten run at the Pan American Games might not be able to play for the gold medal.
A previous commitment for the team to play a series of games at home against China could lead to a forfeit of the final against favored Cuba.
The Americans must leave tonight to go to Mobile, Ala., for the games against China. With heavy rains dousing the baseball fields - and with little expertise on the part of the hosts in dealing with such problems - it's possible the gold medal match scheduled for 8 a.m. MDT today won't come off at that time.
