U.S. Second Brigade;

The U.S. Second Brigade included the 17th Iowa Infantry under Col. David B. Hillis, the 10th Missouri Infantry under Lieut. Col. Leonidas Horney, and the 80th Ohio Infantry under Col. Matthias H. Bartilson. Col. Samuel Holmes' Brigade and the 11th Ohio Battery arrived behind Col. John Sanborn's Brigade. Holmes' Brigade was deployed behind the artillery west of the Utica Road, and the 11th Ohio went into battery between the 1st Illinois and 8th Michigan batteries. On the Union right, when the 7th Missouri of Brig. Gen. John Stevenson’s brigade was driven back, Maj. Gen. James McPherson ordered Holmes' 10th Missouri and both Ohio regiments to Stevenson’s support. After these two regiments arrived, Stevenson pulled his troops back to conceal his movements and placed the 10th Missouri on his right and both Ohio regiments in reserve. Capt. Greenberry F. Wiles arrived with his Pioneer Company and was placed on the left of the 7th Missouri. When Stevenson’s reinforced Union line advanced, the Confederates were compelled to withdraw from the field. Casualties were 2 killed and 1 wounded.
