Complete overhaul for national men’s fastball finalists

by JASON PETERS, Citizen staff

The team name is the same. But, this edition of Newfoundland Impact Signs does not bear much resemblance to the one that went all the way to the final at the 2005 Canadian senior men’s fastpitch championship.

Last year in St. Thomas, Ont., Impact Signs lost 7-1 to the host team in the title game. When Newfoundland begins play Sunday in Prince George at the 2006 nationals, it will have just five returning players on its roster.

Given that fact, the expectations for Impact Signs are a little different this time around.
