Cuban nightmare for US cagers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WINNIPEG, AUG 1: On the field of play, Cuba appeared to be trying to get as much out the momentum it created only a day before in the 13th Pan American Games. After winning five gold medals on the final day of athletics on Friday night, the Caribbean communist nation kept things going in their direction yesterday, advancing to the semifinals in their beloved baseball and stunning the Americans in women's basketball.Solo Homers from Luis Ulacia and Gabriel Pierre lifted Cuba over the Dominican Republic 3-1 in baseball and sent it to a meeting against unbeaten Canada today. Later, Cuba's women shocked the United States 95-64 in basketball, handing the Americans their worst loss in Pan Ams play. Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
