HAMILTON, ONT. - Hamilton Bulldogs forwards T.J. Hensick and Daniel Carr each scored in the final five minutes of the third period, but it wasn't enough to get the 'Dogs (24-19-6-0) past the Toronto Marlies (20-18-9-0) in a 4-2 loss on Friday evening at FirstOntario Centre.
Toronto forward Matt Frattin got the scoring started on a partial breakaway at 17:14 of the first period, with an assist from forward Spencer Abbott.
