WINNIPEG - Sergio Castillo made up for an earlier miss in a big way when he booted a 47-yard field as time expired to lift the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to a 30-27 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks on Thursday.
The Redblacks were down 27-10 just 21 seconds into the fourth quarter when they began their comeback.
Lewis Ward was good on a 46-yard field goal at 4:39, Justin Hardy caught an eight-yard touchdown pass eight minutes later and then receiver Kalil Pimpleton had the 10th consecutive sold-out crowd at Princess Auto Stadium groaning.
After Castillo went wide on a 57-yard field-attempt, Pimpleton returned the ball 117 yards for the touchdown with 53 seconds remaining to make it 27-27.
Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros was intercepted on the team’s next possession, but Ottawa couldn’t d
