Vernon Adams Jr. threw four first-half touchdown passes to lead the B.C. Lions past the struggling Hamilton Tiger-Cats 44-28 on Sunday night at Tim Hortons Field.
Adams led B.C. (4-1) to its fourth straight victory. Over that stretch, he has nine TD passes and no interceptions.
Hamilton had to play catch-up right from the start. The Ticats have lost five straight to start a season for the first time since 2017 when they dropped to 0-8.
Ticats’ starting QB Bo Levi Mitchell completed 32-of-48 passing for 374 yards and three touchdowns before a gathering of 20,210. He connected with Kiondre Smith with a four-yard TD toss on the game’s final play.
Justin McInnis and William Stanback, with two each, and Alexander Hollins had B.C.’s touchdowns. Sean Whyte booted the converts and three field goals, pushing his streak of consecutive kicks made to a career-best 31.
McInnis registered 10 catches for 144 yards while Hollins added six receptions for 116 yards. Stanback scored on a three-yard run at 13:09 of the fourth.

I wonder who Scott Milanovitch will fire this week, scapegoating somebody for the loss. I am so glad JO didn’t hire this supposed genius! Hale the “Mace”!
As cocky as BLM was for all those years I’m certainly enjoying the twilight of his career.
