HAMILTON 48, Edmonton 23



Danny McManus threw a pair of touchdown passes and running back Archie Amerson passed for one score and caught a TD toss as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats crushed the Edmonton Eskimos for the second straight week, 48-23.

Hamilton (6-1) scored 38 second-half points en route to its fifth straight victory. On Friday, the Tiger-Cats routed Edmonton, 39-10.

McManus, a former Eskimo, hit slotback Mike Morreale with an 18-yard scoring pass 5:07 into the third quarter, putting Hamilton ahead for good, 17-16.

Just over three minutes later, running back Ronald Williams scored on a one-yard plunge. Amerson took a pitch from McManus and fired a 7-yard touchdown toss to tight end Andrew Grigg to open a 31-16 lead with 2:20 to go in the period.

The Ti-Cats continued the rout in the fourth quarter. McManus found Amerson for an 89-yard TD just 86 seconds into the period. A safety by Mike Philbrick, a single by Paul Osbaldiston and an eight-yard touchdown run by Mike Cawley made it 48-16 with less than four minutes to play.

Osbaldiston added three field goals to increase his league-leading point total to 90.

Sean Fleming kicked three field goals and backup Marcus Crandell threw a 65-yard touchdown pass to "Gizmo" Williams late in the game for Edmonton (4-3).
