Robert Thomas scored the winner on the power play as the Hamilton Bulldogs edged the Acadie-Bathurst Titan 3-2 on Tuesday in the Memorial Cup round-robin finale for both teams.

The win earns the Ontario Hockey League champion at least a berth in Friday's semifinal.

Hamilton holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Titan although still has to wait for the result of Wednesday's matchup between the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos (0-2) and the host Regina Pats (1-1).

Nicholas Caamano and Benjamin Gleason, on the power play, also had goals for the Bulldogs (2-1).
