Oracle Team USA beat Emirates Team New Zealand in the 14th and 15th races of the America's Cup Finals on San Francisco Bay Sunday afternoon, extending the yachting competition to another day.

Team New Zealand continues to lead the series 8 to 5, needing just one more victory to take the America's Cup from defender Team USA.

Monday's races are scheduled for 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m.
