Narrative:
The PIC landed aircraft X on runway 23. The PIC then taxied off runway 23. Once cleared the runway came to a complete stop. The sic then read the after landing checklist as the PIC performed each action. The PIC then looked up and noticed the aircraft was rolling into the grass off the taxiway. The PIC then took corrective action by adding power to the right engine and applying the left brake to try and get the airplane back on the taxiway. While doing this the right main gear went into a ditch causing the right propeller to strike the grass. The PIC immediately shut everything down. The PIC then called the frederick unicom to let them know and then called the flight school also to inform them.
