Argos top Ticats in pre-season finale

Kerry Joseph threw one touchdown pass and ran for another as the Argos beat the Tiger-Cats 27-17 at Ivor Wynne Stadium in pre-season action Tuesday night.

This was the final pre-season game before final cuts are made this week.

Both teams will debut their official 2009 on-field product in the season-opener at Ivor Wynne on July 1st on Y108 and AM900 CHML.

Joseph also fumbled late in the first quarter that was returned for a 93-yard touchdown by Otis Floyd, cutting Toronto's lead to 14-7.

Quinton Porter started the game and went 11 of 19 for 140 yards and threw one interception in his half of work.

Kevin Glenn, locked in a battle for the Ticat starting job, played most of the second half before being replaced by Adam Trafalis late in the fourth.

Arland Bruce III and Bryan Crawford also scored TDs for Toronto, while Terry Caulley added a 4-yard rushing TD for Hamilton.

Toronto kicker Justin Medlock was good on his lone field-goal attempt, a 41-yarder.

Eddie Johnson came in as kicker and went 1-for-2.
