After eleven straight series' of punts, fumbles, and turnovers, the Pirates finally got back on the board in the fourth quarter when senior Jake Cook intercepted a Givens pass; which resulted in a two play six yard series ended by a one yard Josh Graham touchdown run.
The Pirates increased their lead with 9:49 left in the game when Graham intercepted a Musketeer pass that ended in another two play series and a Graham 10 yard carry to make the final score 28?7.
The Pirates were unusually penalized 155 yards on 14 infractions while the Musketeers were hit with 69 yards on nine penalties.
