Confederate sharpshooters in this area built a barricade across Baltimore Street at the intersection with Breckenridge Street to gain an open field of fire towards the Federal troops on Cemetery Hill. From behind this barricade and from windows of houses along these streets, Confederate marksmen traded shots with their enemy.

Maj. Eugene Blackford, commanding the 5th Alabama sharpshooters, reported: "our fire must have annoyed the enemy very seriously, . . . picking off their officers, their gunners (on Cemetery Hill) unable to stand to their guns."
