What's the best way of putting the following .... The Eagles onslaught in the first included a grand slam bases loaded homer by right fielder Kaine Abbott. |

A grand slam is a bases-loaded homer. So you would choose one or the other. If your audience doesn't know the term "grand slam," I would call it a home run with the bases loaded. (And can we make Eagles' possessive, too?) |

Thanks, that's what I thought. On the other matter, yes. |

I'm probably too late, but I'd drop "right fielder," too. It's not necessary here. |
