Sweat doesn’t actually stink; it’s the bacteria on your skin that breaks the sweat down that causes the odor? You’ll find that the sweat on your arms and legs doesn’t smell as much as your armpits. That’s because sweat glands in your armpits secrete more protein into a dark, damp environment. *Laker Sports* The baseball team won both of their games during Saturday’s Invitational beating MCC 19-6 and Pellston in a last inning rally 8-7.
