| District 51 (3-3) defeated Latin America Region champion Mayaguez (Puerto Rico) 5-4 later in the day, but trails Kalamazoo (5-0) and Wyoming (5-0) by 2 1/2 games in the nine-team round robin, from which the teams with the two best records advance to Saturday's championship. Gerdau also expanded its presence into a fifth South American country by agreeing in December 2004 to pay $77 million in debt and equity for control of two Colombian steel makers, Diaco and Siderurgica del Pacifico from their major shareholders, The Latin American Enterprise Steel Holding, a Miami venture capital fund, and Grupo Mayaguez in Cali, Colombia. While Pueblo, Mayaguez, Stark, Cole and dozens of other less egregious tragedies at sea have consumed the attention of Congress for weeks, this event alone fails to trigger the slightest congressional interest. |
