Farmers that season. Parksley planned to use Foxx in the outfield, but catcher Joe Tagg got sick just before the series started; Foxx batted fifth and played catcher. He registered six runs batted in (RBI) in the first game, which Parksley won 17–0. Foxx hit for a .391 batting average and four home runs in the series, which the Spuds won four games to two. The Spuds nearly returned to the Five-State Championship in 1925, but the Cambridge Canners finished ahead of them for the Eastern Shore League pennant. Win Clark managed the 1926 Parksley team. Lester Bangs, who had managed for two years in the Class B Virginia League, was the Spuds manager in 1927. The team won its last league championship that year and beat the BRL's Chambersburg Maroons in the Five-State Championship. A man named John Pasquella took over as manager of the team in 1928; Baseball-Reference.com does not have any biographical information about Pasquella other than his position as manager of the 1928 Parksley team. Facing declining attendance figures, Eastern Shore League officials voted to disband the league in July 1928, cancelling all of the statistics from that season. Two other iterations of the league existed in the 1930s and 1940s, but Parksley did not field a team in the league after 1928.
