After an extended fight between two regiments of Cleburne's Brigade (1st and 2nd Alabama) and the 1st Illinois Infantry, the Federals were finally driven out of Centerville and forced back north to Caesar Ford on the Bull Head River. The 1st Alabama broke and fled east to East Troy. Centerville is held by the 2nd Alabama.

| As the 1st Illinois fell back slightly, the 2nd Alabama moved through an orchard from its west to east end and opened fire again. |
 |
| The final retreat of the day: To Caesar Ford. |
