The Kookaburras will resume at 2-63 chasing the Hamwicks' first innings total of 256.
Josiah McCredie (15 not out) and Greg Hunt (12 not out) are unbeaten.
The run chase will be a test of character for Toronto who are desperate to avoid a third straight defeat since their climb into the top four.
The Kookaburras (59 points) have since slipped to sixth on the competition ladder but are just four points adrift of fourth placed Stockton-Raymond Terrace.
On Saturday, Paul Toole resumed the captaincy from Joe Price, who stood down due to personal commitments.
Toole retired at the end of 2010-11 but came out of retirement aged 41 in January last year.
Brinn Osland (4-65) claimed the bowling honours for Toronto Workers.
