Waters rallies Argos past Ticats in final Labour Day game at Ivor Wynne

HAMILTON – Swayze Waters’ 33-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining earned the Toronto Argonauts a wild 33-30 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday in the final Labour Day contest at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Ricky Ray marched the Argos 51 yards on seven plays to the Hamilton 27-yard line with just over two minutes remaining, setting up Waters’ game-winning boot, to the dismay of the sun-drenched gathering of 31,032.

Hamilton took over at its own 35-yard line, but turned the ball over on downs following three incompletions.

Henry Burris pulled Hamilton into a 30-30 tie with a 10-yard TD strike to Brandon Rutley at 12:40 before finding Dave Stala on the two-point convert.
