Battle! Romney D2 - 12:27 p.m. - Infantry Fight

The left of the Confederate lead brigade turned to face the approaching infantry on the hill to their left, as the other three regiments continued to fire on the cavalry at the fence line to their front.  The advancing Federal infantry engaged, with their right taking fire from the Confederate battery that had been brought up east of the Malone house. With the battery at risk, the reserve brigade moved up the hill across the eastern part of the Malone Farm to support the lead brigade's left and protect the guns.

On the right of the Confederate line, the enemy cavalry broke and reformed on the eastern edge of town, along another fence line. The Confederate infantry on the right continues to advance and press them. On the Confederate left, the reserve brigade has gone into action with its right regiment against the Malone barn and its left regiment able to get into position to flank the Union right. 

The flanking fire was more than the regiment on the Federal right could take and it fell back to refuse the flank of the main line at the top of the hill. The Confederates prepare to press forward.
