There was electricity in the air, both literally and figuratively, when the Lobsters started the 2013 season against the New York Sportimes.

With lightening flashing in the distance, the Boston Lobsters took the court for their first home match of the season and first at their new home at the Joan Norton Tennis Center at the Manchester Athletic Club.   The Lobsters are the first professional sports team on Cape Ann.  Their opponent was the New York Sportimes – Jesse Witten, Robert Kendrick, Kveta Peschke and Abigail Spears.
