The Ontario team jumped out in the second quarter by scoring 24 points to win 48-31 on Sunday at Tim Hortons Field.
This victory allows the “Ti-Cats” (4-9) to come within two points of the Sparrows (5-7) and second place in the Eastern Division of the Canadian Football League, but the latter have a game of more to argue.
Quarterback Dane Evans was the biggest contributor to the victory, completing no less than five touchdown passes. He finished the game with 327 yards through the air and completed 25 of 32 stints.
Tim White was his favorite target. He scored two majors and caught six balls. Steven Dunbar, Kiondre Smith and David Ungerer also added six points to the table for the hosts.
Behind the center of the Blue Bombers (12-2), Zach Collaros had better performances. Although he had 342 yards, he often lacked precision and was the victim of two interceptions. Rasheed Bailey and Nic Demski were the recipients of his two touchdown passes.
