STAMPEDERS 60 TIGER-CATS 1

CALGARY - Jerome Messam ran for three touchdowns to lead the Calgary Stampeders to a 60-1 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.

Receiver Marken Michel hauled in two long passes to set up two of Messam's scores and then caught a TD pass of his own from quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell late in the second quarter. Michel finished with 190 yards on six catches.

Roy Finch returned a punt 97 yards into the end zone for the Stampeders (4-1-1), who extended their winning streak at McMahon Stadium to 13 straight games.

It was the largest margin of victory for the Stampeders in franchise history, surpassing the previous record of 50 points that was set in 1963 and equalled in 1995.

The Stamps also came close to setting a new mark for most points scored in a game (62), a record that was set in 1994 and matched two years later.

Rookie running back Ante Milanovic-Litre ran for his first-career CFL touchdown, while Shaquille Richardson also had an interception return for a TD.
