FRISCO, Texas (August 20, 2024) – One lucky Frisco RoughRiders fan walked away from the game $10,000 richer courtesy of Axis Custom Pool’s Splash for Cash promotion and a Luis Mieses solo home run on Friday night.
New for the 2024 season, the home-half of the third inning at Riders Field is dubbed the Axis Custom Pools Splash for Cash Inning. If a RoughRiders player hits a home run into the Lazy River during the bottom of the third inning, a preselected fan walks away with $10,000. The promotion began on Friday, May 24th and Friday’s winner was the first ever.
“I’d like to thank JPAR Real Estate, Axis Custom Pools, and the Frisco RoughRiders for such an amazing night,” said Friday night’s Splash for Cash winner Daniel Butbul. “Of course, Luis Mieses, what a night with those 2 home runs! You earned a lifelong fan!”
A veteran-owned company headquartered in Anna, Texas, Axis Custom Pools is the Official Pool Builder of the Frisco RoughRiders. Prior to the 2024 season, the company retiled and plastered the Lazy River, giving an elevated look to the most unique view in professional sports.
The Mieses splash hit pulled the Riders to within a run in the bottom of the third inning against Springfield starter Alex Cornwell.
Frisco then tacked on two more runs courtesy of solo home runs from Daniel Mateo and Abimelec Ortiz in the fifth and seventh inning before claiming a 7-5 victory on a second long ball from Mieses, a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The RoughRiders are back home this week against the San Diego Padres affiliated San Antonio Missions. The 6-game series is highlighted by Twisted Tea Rowdy @ The River on Thursday, Classic TV Night on Friday, Baseball in Paradise on Saturday and Touch-A-Truck Night on Sunday, presented by Alpha & Omega Equipment. Fans can enjoy postgame fireworks on Friday and Sunday presented by Fields of Gold and Globe Life, respectively.

About the RoughRiders
The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas League champions. In 2023, the team celebrated its 20th anniversary and has consistently finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014, the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store and the world's largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest's prestigious "Best Ballpark Renovation" award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 200 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Josh Jung, Evan Carter and Leody Taveras.
