<p><span>NASHUA, N.H.—</span>A woman accused of running down a man in her car
after getting into a Red Sox-Yankees argument never hit her brakes as she
accelerated toward the small group he was in, a prosecutor said Monday.</p>
<ul></ul>
<p>"She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet.
She went directly at this group of people," prosecutor Susan Morrell said of
Ivonne Hernandez, who is charged with reckless second-degree murder in the death
early Friday of Matthew Beaudoin, 29.</p>
<p>The argument happened after Beaudoin left Slade's Food & Spirits, where
he sang karaoke.</p>
<p>Lisa Slade, the owner of the bar, said Monday one of her bartenders (who was
with Beaudoin after the bar closed) stopped at a bush to relieve herself.</p>
<p>Beaudoin and another girl, Maria Hughes, laughed at her. Slade said her
bartender told her that a woman getting into her car thought Beaudoin and Hughes
were laughing at her.</p>
<p>Slade said the woman punched the bartender. "My bartender got slapped in the
face," she said.</p>
<p>At that point, the group saw a Yankees bumper sticker on the car and "said
something to her about being a Yankees fan," and the conflict escalated, Slade
said. Like the rest of New Hampshire, Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is
Red Sox country.</p>
<p>Hernandez, 43, allegedly gunned her car and struck Beaudoin and Hughes, 21.
Hughes had only minor injuries, which Beaudoin's sister Faith said was because
her brother shielded his friend.</p>
<p>Hernandez, of Nashua, was arrested at the scene. She acknowledged she had
been drinking and refused to take a breath-alcohol test, said Morrell, a senior
assistant attorney general. Hernandez said she had been in an argument with the
group.</p>
<p>"She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She
thought they would get out of the way," Morrell said.</p>
<p>Hernandez was ordered held without bail after being arraigned Monday in
Nashua District Court. The charges, including aggravated drunken driving, are
felonies, so Hernandez could not enter a plea.</p>
<p>Her public defender, James Quay, did not return a call seeking comment.</p><div class="Ih2E3d">
<p>Beaudoin died of massive head trauma at a hospital, Morrell said.</p>
</div><p>Faith Beaudoin described her brother, a 1997 graduate of Nashua High School,
as a jokester and social butterfly, who liked to tease.</p>
<p>"I hope she's haunted by Matt's face hitting her windshield," Faith Beaudoin
said of Hernandez. "It's been an absolute nightmare for all of us."</p>
<p>His organs, including his heart, liver and kidneys, were donated in hopes of
saving other people's lives.</p>
<p>Jay Murphy, Beaudoin's boss at Sharkys Poker Room in Manchester, said
Beaudoin "wasn't a Yankee hater. It was a local team kind of thing."</p>
