An interception of aRon Lancaster pass by Hamilton'sAl Brenner led to a 16-yard touchdown pass fromChuck Ealey toDave Fleming. The score stood despite replays clearly showing that Fleming was out of bounds when he caught Ealey's pass. Later in the first quarterBob Krouse of Hamilton had his first of two blocked punts. Hamilton recovered but had to settle for a 27-yardIan Sunter field goal. Brenner appeared to have a second interception for a 27-yard touchdown return, but it was called back on a Hamilton offside.

In the second quarter, Saskatchewan tied the game with an 8-yard Lancaster to Tom Campana pass and a 20-yardJack Abendschan field goal.

With just under two minutes to play in the game and Hamilton on their own 15-yard line, Ealey completed a 27-yard pass toTony Gabriel; it was Gabriel's first catch of the day. Ealey immediately went back to Gabriel for 12 yards, and a play later threw to Gabriel a third time to get to the Saskatchewan 41-yard line with 51 seconds left. Hamilton then ran the clock down while getting close enough for Ian Sunter to kick a 34-yard field goal on the last play of the game for the win.
