[Husker] Props to Skylar and our other baseball correspondents (was: Huskers sweep Aggies)

[George Rapp]

Just wanted to add my kudos for all of the excellent baseball coverage this
season -- with specific kudos to Skylar.  On most of the sports pages, you
are lucky to get the season standings and a box score for college baseball,
with maybe a few lines of game coverage.  But on the 'Husker List, we get
much more, as evidenced below -- including some context so we can figure out
What It All Means.
