Angels 2 (74-69), Yankees 1
The Angels kept their head above water with some solid pitching in a twelve inning pitcher’s duel in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees. Jack Hamilton gave up one unearned in ten innings and for his troubles, he just kept the Angels in the game. Veteran Curt Simmons picked up the win with two innings of shutout relief.
The game winner came on a sac. fly by Roger Repoz in the top of the twelth inning. Jay Johnstone and Jim Fregosi each had three hits a piece.

The Angels managed just four hits in the contest. The lone run came across on a solo homer by Jay Johnstone.
