Most of the day was fairly quiet. Only one or two of the Union batteries were engaged, and they only shot at intervals. The Confederates responded with the same vigor.
As the day wore on, the firing on the skirmish line gained intensity. About 7 o'clock in the evening the Confederates made a charge on the Union skirmish line, but they were repulsed and suffered several casualties.
The Union was able to advance their rifle pits again, and now were within easy range of the fort. That also means the Union troops were within easy range of the Confederate guns in the fort.
