The Indians Finish the 1927 Season with a 6–4 Win

September 11, 1927

Shamokin defeated the Elmira Colonels on September 11 to close its New York–Pennsylvania League season.

Some details remain uncertain

The Shamokin Indians closed their 1927 New York–Pennsylvania League season with a victory over the Elmira Colonels. On September 11, the Indians won 6–4 in the contest reported the following day as their final game of the season.

Scully Wagner pitched the complete-game victory. The newspaper's account was accompanied by a score-by-innings table and box score, preserving the result as a specific baseball contest rather than a general recollection of the club's success.

The headline celebrated a winning finish to that year's schedule. It did not announce the end of the franchise. This was the conclusion of the Indians' 1927 season, not an established last game in the history of Shamokin baseball.
