Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that the airplane touched down "slightly" left of centerline and bounced. Subsequent to the bounced landing, the airplane drifted to the left and exited the runway edge. In an effort to steer the airplane back onto the runway the pilot applied right rudder and power, however, during the maneuver the airplane encountered rough/uneven terrain and nosed over.
