Iuka could have been worse for Confederate Gen. Price, because US Grant's forces (under Ord) were also nearby and could have helped cut off Price's escape from Rosecrans' corps-sized forces.
Grant's & Ord's intention was to march to the sounds of battle, but a temperature inversion prevented them from hearing the battle and so they stayed in place, allowing Price to escape.
Confederate forces will soon regroup and move towards Corinth, Mississippi.
