BASEBALL

Jeff Alkire of San Jose, Calif., threw a three-hitter and struck out 10 as the United States beat Spain 4-1 in the opening day of baseball as an Olympic medal sport. Michael Tucker of Chase City, Va., hit a two-run homer for the Americans, who squandered several other scoring opportunities.

Cuba, the gold medal favorite, beat the Dominican Republic 8-0.

BOXING

Light flyweight Eric Griffin, two time world-champion from Jasper, Tenn., began his quest for the gold by beating Fauston Mercedes of the Dominican Republic.

In the only other opening-day match featuring an American, welterweight Pepe Reilly of Glendale, Calif., outslugged Victor Baute of Spain. Reilly ended the match with a four-punch combination with 1:05 left. The Spanish crowd booed the referee's decision to stop the fight, but Reilly was leading 23-9 at the time.

In a 147-pound match between boxers who in the past might have been teammates, Vitalijus Karpaciauskas of Lithuania defeated Russian Andrei Pestriaev of the Unified Team 9-4.

CYCLING

Men's 10-K Team Time trial

Gold - Germany, 2:01.39; Silver - Italy, 2:02.39; Bronze - France, 2:05.25.

Americans - Team of John Stenner, Greeley, Colo.; Nathan Sheafor, Topeka, Kan.; George Hincapie, Farmingdale, N.Y.; and Scott Mercier, Telluride, Colo., finished 16th, 2:13.35.

A united Germany won its first gold of the Games by stunning favored Italy on the 62-mile course. The U.S. team had two flat tires and a bike change in the first half of the race, ruining its hopes for a top-five finish.

"We could have worked our way through the first mechanical problem, but after the second we had lost a lot of time," Hincapie said. "That's when the French passed us. It was kind of demoralizing."

Women's 81-Kilometer Road Race

Gold - Kathryn Watt, Australia, 2:04.42; Silver - Jeannie Longo, France, 2:05.02; Bronze - Monique Knol, Netherlands, 2:05.02.

Americans - Jeanne Golay, Hollywood, Fla., sixth; Sally Zack, North Conway, N.H., 10th; Inga Thompson, Reno, Nev., 26th, all credited with 2:05.02.

Watt gave Australia its first cycling medal ever with an upset victory over Longo and Knol, the 1988 gold medalist.

Golay was bothered by a stomach virus.

"My day did not go great," she said. "I felt pretty good early in the race and made a couple of attacks, and then I started feeling worse and worse, until I felt really empty."

GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING

Dennis Koslowski of St. Louis Park, Minn., defeated 1988 gold medalist Andrzej Wronski of Poland 2-0 in the first round of the 220-pound division. Koslowski, the 1988 bronze medalist, then edged Song Sung-il of South Korea 1-0 in the second round.
