Feltner's strong performance was backed by a bounce-back night form Spokane's offense as the Indians defeated the AquaSox, 10-1, in front of 6,779 fans at Avista Stadium for Armed Forces Appreciation & Fireworks Night presented *Windermere Real Estate, KHQ, & 103.5 The Game. *Spokane improved to 26-29 in the second half and 59-61 overall with the win.
