The Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League lost on the road to the Spokane Empire by the score of 54-51. Spokane is a new entrant to the league having jumped ship from the Arena Football League and having to change their team nickname. With the 3 point loss the Stormers now have a record of 2-2 on the season. They got down at the outset 13-0 and never could quite make it back over the hump.
