Aug 8, 2008 - 5:04 AM HAMILTON, Ontario (Ticker) -- Richie Williams threw three touchdown passes and Terry Caulley ran for 127 yards as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats rode a huge second half to a 45-21 triumph over the Toronto Argonauts on Thursday.

Starting in place of the injured Casey Printers, Williams connected with Robert Pavlovic for a four-yard TD at 9:38 of the second quarter, tying the game at 10-10.

With the contest even at 18-18 at the half, the Tiger-Cats scored 17 points in the third quarter and another 10 in the fourth en route to snapping their four-game skid. Williams fired a three-yard TD pass to Caulley early in the third and found Chris Bauman for a 63-yard score less than seven minutes into the fourth to complete his impressive effort.

Williams completed 15-of-24 passes for 293 yards and Caulley ran for a 20-yard touchdown for Hamilton.

Jamal Robertson and Dominique Dorsey scored on the ground and Kerry Joseph was 21-of-40 for 303 yards with two interceptions for Toronto (3-4).
