Heavy rain interrupts baseball matches at Beijing Olympics
14/8/2008 17:53
A sudden, heavy rainfall forced two baseball matches of the Beijing
Olympic Games to halt this afternoon.
The rain struck the baseball range at
Wukesong in west Beijing at around 12:50 pm today, when China and South Korea
were at a scoreless draw in the second half of the fourth inning, and the United
States led the Netherlands 6-0 in the seventh inning.
Maintenance staff
covered the range with plastic film, while some one third of the spectators
chose to stay in the stands.
