Answer:

They kept control of a railroad junction

Step-by-step explanation:

This link of railroad acted almost as a tether from which both Confederate armies could support one another at will. In this particular case, Johnston was actually able to use the railroad to move his troops to the aide of Beauregard as we read earlier, helping sway the tide of battle in the South's favor.
