NASHUA, N.H. (AP) _ 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.



"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.



The argument happened after Beaudoin left Slade's Food & Spirits, where he sang karaoke.



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.



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.



Slade said the woman punched the bartender. "My bartender got slapped in the face," she said.



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.



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.



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.



"She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way," Morrell said.



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.



Her public defender, James Quay, did not return a call seeking comment.



Beaudoin died of massive head trauma at a hospital, Morrell said.



Faith Beaudoin described her brother, a 1997 graduate of Nashua High School, as a jokester and social butterfly, who liked to tease.



"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."



His organs, including his heart, liver and kidneys, were donated in hopes of saving other people's lives.



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."
