SPOKANE, Sept. 10—Bats boomed in three run-filled innings Sunday night as the Spokane Indians defeated the Tri-City Braves 8 to 5 in their final Western International league game of the season.

The Braves opened stoutly with four runs in the first frame on two singles, two doubles and a wild pitch, but weakened in succeeding innings and scored only once more, in the eighth.
The Indians bunched four runs in the third inning, collected three more in the seventh and one in the eighth. They tagged losing pitcher Lou McCollum, a 21-game winner, for 12 hits.
