Again, the Federals win a footrace for position, and Van Derveer deploys minutes before Dibrell launches his attack.  The attack is fierce, causing the 35^th Ohio to waver momentarily, but ultimately the strength of the Union infantry and devastating canister from the artillery halt the advance.  Dibrell retires back into the woods.

The 17^th and 9^th Ohio retire from their advanced position, leaving the guns of Battery H, 5^th United States alone in the woods.  They will be recovered and retrieved later in the afternoon.

Croxton and Govan continue their fight.
