Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros threw two touchdown passes to Luke Tasker and Terrell Sinkfield scored on a 58-yard punt return as the Tiger-Cats defeated the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders 28-3 on Sunday.
Ticat kicker Justin Medlock hit field goals from 50 and 51 yards and added a 57-yard punt single, but hit the left upright in the third quarter from 43 yards out. Saskatchewan kicker Chris Milo hit a 10-yarder on his lone attempt.
Collaros also threw an interception. Saskatchewan pivot Tino Sunseri, getting his first start with Darian Durant out injured, threw one interception.
Hamilton receiver Andy Fantuz made 11 catches for 108 yards in front of a capacity crowd of 18,135 fans at Tim Hortons Field.
Saskatchewan saw its winning streak end at seven games, and with a record of 8-3 falls into a share of second spot with Edmonton in the CFL West Division.
Hamilton (3-7) moves into a three-way tie for first in the CFL East Division with Toronto and Montreal, who both lost this weekend.
Hamilton mismanaged the clock at the end of the first half, squandering a scoring opportunity while in Saskatchewan territory, and took a 13-3 lead into halftime. Medlock couldn't add to the lead early in the third when his 43-yard field-goal attempt hit the left upright. But Sinkfield made it 20-3 for the Ticats soon after when he returned a 38-yard punt by Milo 58 yards for the touchdown.
Roughrider defensive lineman Derek Walker shut down another promising Hamilton drive late in the third with an interception at the Saskatchewan 12, grabbing a deflected pass from Collaros.
But with less than four minutes left to play, Hamilton finished an 85-yard drive with a 14-yard TD pass from Collaros to Tasker. Medlock's 57-yard punt single made it 28-3.
Hamilton was up 6-0 at the end of the first quarter on two Medlock field goals, from 50 and 51 yards with the wind. The Ticats followed the game plan controlling the ball for most of the quarter, keeping it away from the Roughriders' powerful running backs.
A short 20-yard punt by Milo near the end of the quarter gave the Ticats the ball at the Saskatchewan 44. Four plays later, Collaros hit Tasker for a 14-yard catch-and-run TD to open second-quarter scoring and take a 13-0 lead.
Saskatchewan finally got on the board when Milo hit a 10-yard field goal with three minutes left in the half. The Roughriders took 11 plays and 4:54 to move 55 yards, aided by three Hamilton penalties, but the Ticat defence came up big with first-and-goal a the three-yard-line, stuffing Jerome Messam at the line of scrimmage and then forcing an incomplete throw in the end zone.
The half ended 13-3 as Hamilton missed an opportunity to get at least a field goal. After driving 62 yards to the Saskatchewan 21, the Ticats ran a play from scrimmage with about seven seconds remaining but couldn't get the ball out of bounds fast enough and time expired before any attempt at a scoring play.
