ALOUETTES UPSET STAMPEDERS 30-23

MONTREAL - Tyrell Sutton and back-up quarterback Vernon Adams ran in touchdowns as the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Calgary Stampeders 30-23 on Friday night.

B.J. Cunningham also scored while Boris Bede kicked three field goals for the Alouettes (2-2), who have beaten the Stampeders on their last four visits to Percival Molson Stadium. It was the first time this season Montreal scored more than 19 points in a game.

DeVaris Daniels had a TD and Rene Paredes booted five field goals for Calgary (2-1-1).

Montreal slotback Nik Lewis easily got the 21 yards he needed to pass Alouettes legend Ben Cahoon (13,301) for sixth place in all-time receiving yards.

The Alouettes led 16-9 at the intermission despite Darian Durant throwing interceptions to Ciante Evans and Tommie Cambell and taking 12 mostly undisciplined penalties.

An 80-yard completion to Ernest Jackson set up a 12-yard Bede field goal 1:34 into the game but Calgary marched back to tie it on Paredes' 14-yard effort.

The Stampeders settled for a field goal from 12 yards 4:26 into the second quarter after Marquay McDaniel dropped a sure touchdown pass near the goal line.

Montreal responded with a six-play, 100-yard drive capped by a 39-yard TD pass from Durant to a wide-open Cunningham at 10:45.

Chris Ackie stripped Jerome Messam and Branden Dozier ran it in 23 yards for a TD at 12:13. Messam was ejected and given a facemasking penalty for his part in the skirmish that followed the score.

Calgary's final drive of the half led to Paredes' 35-yard boot with no time remaining.

Mitchell led an eight-play drive to open the second half capped by a 30-yard TD toss to Daniels.

Rob Maver put Calgary ahead 17-16 with a punt single through the end zone at 8:28 and Paredes added another field goal from 34 yards to end the third quarter.

Montreal bounced back with an eight-play drive that saw Sutton run in 14 yards up the middle for the TD at 3:57 of the fourth.

Paredes put one through from the 39 at 6:29 but Montreal answered with a nine-play drive capped by Adams one-yard score at 11:35.

Calgary kick returner Roy Finch returned from a two-game suspension after a positive test for the banned substance D-amphetamine, pushing Terry Williams to the practice roster. He took over at running back when Messam was disqualified.
