They always play to win, but have fun along the way. While their par- ticipation in the base league was somewhat hindered by Duncan ' s demanding underway schedule this spring and siunmer, they did a fine job in every game that they played. More important than this though, Duncan ' s team played various fire department and civic group teams in the many ports visited during FY83. This helps to promote good public relations for the Navy and allows Duncan sailors to meet many new friends. Led by the coaching of Chief Nic , the pitching of BMl Titze and the power hitting of HT2 Gutzman, Duncan ' s softball team always plays hard!
