Two days after playing a 19 inning against the Twins, Catfish Hunter and the Yankees got themselves into an extra innings battle.
Two days after winning a 19-inning game against the Twins at Yankee Stadium on August 25, 1976, the Yankees traveled across the country to play the California Angels. New York sent Catfish Hunter to the mound on August 27, 1976. Hunter was in his second season with the team, and was having an okay season. He made the All-Star team in '76, but would surrender a league-leading 28 home runs that year.
