Freshman Johnnie Clark rallied from a 3-down deficit through three holes against Will King to pull even seven holes into the match. He would win holes nine and 11 to move in front and would close out his win by taking the final hole.
Freshman Gaven Lane tied his match against Gunnar Broin, while classmate Preston Stout erased a five-hole deficit by winning five of his final six holes to tie his match with William Duquette.
Sophomore John Wild lost, 3 and 2, to Davis Cooper, giving KU its full point.
The afternoon session saw Baumgartner once again register a big win as he took down Todd Duncan, 5 and 4. Baumgartner won two of the final three holes on the back nine to grab a 3-up lead with seven to play. He would then win holes 1 and 2 to put the match away.
Stout won five holes on the back nine to take a commanding 4-up lead and won the fourth hole to close out a 5-and-4 win over Carson Kammann.
