There was no such battle.
After Sherman threatened to bombard the city, the Confederate garrison under General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina.
A romantic version of the story is that Sherman spared Savannah from the kind of treatment he had handed out to the rest of Georgia, because he had once loved a girl from there.
More likely, he was keen to pursue and destroy the Confederate army, as well as making punitive raids on South Carolina, the state thet started the war.
In Georgia, he had made his point by then.
