 After a series of tiny crowds of around twenty customers per game, the Newts were evicted from Delano-Hitch after three weeks, when their rent check bounced.The franchise continued to operate as a road team (apparently renamed the New York Newts, according to the league website), one of two in the four-team circuit.Despite a slow start and being forced to play all of their contests on the road, the Newts finished 22-17, good enough for a first-place tie with the league's other road team, the Road City Explorers.
