  Winnipeg, MB (Sports Network) - Travis Lulay hit A.J. Harris for a 30-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and British Columbia held on for a 24-21 victory against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Canad Inns Stadium.

  Lulay finished with 177 yards passing on 13-of-24 attempts with a pair of interceptions and the game-winning TD toss.

  Harris caught five balls for 92 yards and was the Lions' leading rusher with 89 yards on 21 carries. Lulay ran seven times for 92 yards in the win.

  British Columbia (8-7), which has won three in a row and four of the last five, sit third in the West Division despite having the same amount of points as both Calgary and Saskatchewan. Those two teams played to a 44-all draw on Saturday and are 8-6-1 on the year.

  Michael Bishop passed for 226 yards and a touchdown on 13-of-32 attempts, but threw three interceptions -- one of those returned for a score and another setting up BC's game-deciding score in the fourth.

  Brock Ralph nabbed the TD pass while Adarius Bowman hauled in five balls for 92 yards in the loss. Fred Reid rushed for 72 yards on 15 carries for Winnipeg (6-9), which had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Blue Bombers are tied with Hamilton for second place in the East Division.

  Winnipeg held a slim 20-17 advantage entering the fourth quarter but Bishop was picked off by Barron Miles on the Bombers' first series and BC took over on the Winnipeg 29. Two plays later Lulay hooked up with Harris for the 30- yard score for a 24-20 lead.

  Alexis Serna missed a 59-yard field goal on the Bombers' next possession, leading to a single, but the Lions' defense clamped down on Bishop and co. to secure the victory. Winnipeg's final four turns with the ball resulted in a trio of three-and-outs and Bishop's third interception of the game.

  The Bombers jumped out to a 14-0 lead after the first 15 minutes. A 10-yard TD pass to Ralph capped the game's opening drive while Serna booted a pair of field goals and added a single for the two-score advantage.

  The Lions got on the board by opening the second quarter with Dante Marsh's 18-yard interception return for a touchdown. A quick Winnipeg three-and-out sent BC back on the attack and Paul McCallum kicked a 13-yard field goal, then added a single and a field goal from 37 yards to tie the game at 14.

  Serna came back with a 12-yard boot for the Bombers, but McCallum answered with a 47-yarder just before halftime to deadlock the contest at 17.

  Game Notes Miles had two interceptions for British Columbia, whose defense was led by defensive end Ricky Foley with six tackles...Doug Brown topped the Winnipeg defense with seven tackles and a sack.
