Toronto (3-7) entered the fourth quarter with a 28-24 lead thanks in large part to scoring touchdowns off Hamilton turnovers.
Alden Darby Jr. intercepted Masoli midway through the second quarter which was followed up by a three-yard touchdown pass by Argos backup QB James Franklin to offensive lineman Ryan Bomben who was lined up as a tight end on the play.
Darby also returned an Alex Green fumble 100 yards for a touchdown to tie the game 21-21 early in the third quarter.
Hamilton (5-5) outscored Toronto 18-0 in the fourth frame and improved to 34-13-1 all-time against the Argos on Labour Day.
Toronto’s last victory on Labour Day was Sept. 3, 2012, at old Ivor Wynne Stadium.
The two teams will meet again Saturday afternoon at Toronto’s BMO Field.
