Scammon made contact with Garland's forces at Fox's Gap near South Mountain. Scammon's forces and artillery outnumbered Garland by a three to one margin. The Federals used musket fire and artillery to push back the Southerners. Then outflanked Garland's force on two sides. Garland was killed in the skirmish.
