Overall, the Rebellion struggled through the season, batting a league-worst .199.^[4] Manager Rick Bertagnolli resigned following a 2–10 start, citing 'personal reasons.' Assistant coach Stacey Rice, was named to replace him.^[5] The Rebellion's inaugural season ended with 9–39 record, finishing in last place.
