Confused on game mechanics

[Bloody Bill]

There was no skirmisher in the hex. The defending unit was disorganized and facing away from me. I did fire into its back causing the disorganization and then charged in line with my 500 to their 700. I know I had less but I thought the flank and disorganization would make up the difference. I also had an officer with my unit. I understand not pushing them from the hex or both taking losses but I did not understand how they could score a hit of 92 men and only lose 8. That was my main confusion.

There was no skirmisher in this fight and I thought skirmishers gave no bonus to melee as they automatically fall back when charged.
