Gold Coast scored 12 runs in the fourth inning to put the game away early.
In the second game, Gold Coast had a slim one-run lead over Arizona heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, but managed to push two more runs across the plate to widen the gap.
Antoinette (Missy) Fernandez threw all seven innings, allowing two runs, one earned, off three hits, while striking out six and walking one.
Hits were harder to come by in the game but Breianna McLeod and Kiera Javillonar managed two apiece. Javillonar had the only extra base hit of the game, a double to center in the bottom of the third that gave Gold Coast a 3-2 advantage. She also knocked in a run in the first inning.
