NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE

A New York Yankees fan has been charged with second-degree murder after allegedly ramming her car into a group of people outside a New Hampshire bar, killing a Boston Red Sox fan.

Ivonne Hernandez, 43, was arraigned this morning in Hillsborough District Court on reckless second-degree murder and drunken driving charges. She did not enter a plea and will be held without bail.

The murder charge followed the weekend death of 29-year-old Matthew Beaudoin, who was one of two people struck early Friday morning by Hernandez in a Nashua, N.H., parking lot after an altercation that reportedly involved fans of the rival big league teams.

Hernandez, of Nashua, had initially been charged with two counts of felony reckless conduct, but one of the charges was increased after Beaudoin's death.

"One of the pedestrians sustained minor injuries," according to the Friday release from the state Attorney General's Office. "The second pedestrian sustained life-threatening injuries."

I'm glad the Red Sox have won a couple of World Series recently. Now I don't have to listen to how they are cursed or how they got screwed again. 2 May 07, 2008 hntr1096: ... When is the sports world gonna figure out that there is more to MLB than just the Yankees, and Sox. Yes, there is a sports world outside of NY and Boston. I'm tired of the east coast bias.
