Markeith Knowlton blocked a punt, then recovered it in the end zone late in the first half to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats past the Toronto Argonauts 28-13 on Labour Day.
Knowlton blocked Jamie Boreham's attempt, then ran the bouncing ball down in the end zone with two seconds remaining before a raucous Ivor Wynne Stadium sellout of 30,319.
Knowlton's recovery staked Hamilton to a well-earned 20-6 half-time lead.
Toronto (5-4) countered with a Cory Boyd's seven-yard TD run at 5:06 of the third.
But Hamilton regained its 14-point lead after Kevin Glenn's 15-yard touchdown strike to Dave Stala at 12:49.
Toronto was its own worst enemy Monday, turning the ball over five times and allowing three sacks.
Hamilton (5-4) moved into a second-place tie with Toronto in the East Division with its fourth straight win.
More importantly, the Ticats clinched the season series with the Argos, meaning they'll finish ahead of their rivals if the two teams end the regular campaign tied.
