There was no battle in the end, because the small Confederate army under Hardee managed to escape across the river into South Carolina.
The story goes that Sherman spared Savannah from destruction because he had once loved a girl from there. But either way, there would have been no benefit in wreaking further mayhem in Georgia by that time. He'd made his point on the suffering Georgians, and it was time to move into South Carolina (which had started the whole war) and put the boot into them.
