    Winnipeg -- Fred Reid ran in a four-yard touchdown with less than two minutes left as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers held on for a 30-23 CFL win over the Edmonton Eskimos last night.

    It was Winnipeg's third successive victory and took its record to 5-8. Edmonton falls to 7-6.

    It was a wild final five minutes for a sellout crowd of 29,794 at Canad Inns Stadium.

    Winnipeg was leading 22-16 with five minutes left, when Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray attempted a lateral pass to a teammate while being sacked and fumbled the ball. Bombers linebacker Cam Hall jumped on the ball at his team's 34-yard line.
    But on the next play, Winnipeg receiver Terrence Edwards fumbled a catch and the Esks recovered at the Bombers' 44-yard line.

    Ray then tossed a pass to Fred Stamps, who turned it into a 44-yard touchdown that gave Edmonton a 23-22 lead with less than four minutes to go.

    Reid then ran in his second touchdown of the season, and Kevin Glenn completed a pass to Jamie Stoddard for the two-point convert and a 30-23 lead at the 13 minute 46 second mark.

    What an exciting game. I knew I should've bought some tickets.

    Winnipeg is having a nice little late season surge.

    Yeah, they're finally playing like they did last year when they went to the GC.
