Adversity was the word of the day for the Bluffton Pirates on Friday. Despite being down 14-0 in the first, and playing on a day that featured highs of 92 degrees, the Pirates found a way to tie the score before halftime and break another tie late in the game to earn their second victory of the season.

Bluffton's senior quarterback Hunter Joseph started the day with an interception and a lost fumble, but rebounded nicely by completing 9 of 13 passes for 207 yards and 4 touchdowns as well as rushing for 34 yards.
