SAN ANTONIO - Erik Meyer completed 23 of 29 passes for 255 yards and seven touchdowns, and ran for two more, to lead the Spokane Shock past the San Antonio Talons 61-48 on Friday night in front of 7,961 in Arena Football League play on Friday at The Alamodome.

Adron Tennell had 12 catches for 177 yards and four touchdowns for Spokane (7-3), which hosts San Jose next Saturday at the Spokane Arena.

Xavier Lee threw for 237 yards for San Antonio (4-5) after replacing starting quarterback Nick Hill, who left the game in the first quarter due to an injury. D.J. Stephens returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in the fourth quarter to close the gap to 54-48 Spokane with 44 seconds remaining, but a 17-yard touchdown pass from Meyer to Tennell capped the scoring.
