No.
Sherman was expecting a battle there, but the small Confederate army under Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina, where the Union troops wouild soon follow them.
By this time, Sherman felt he had made his point in Georgia, and decided to spare the city from destruction. It was really South Carolina's turn to feel his anger, as it was the state that had started the war.
Popular tradition also maintains that Sherman had once loved a girl from Savannah, and felt sentimental about the city - the subject of a recent novel.
