Ml=[l Tiffanie Liaw/Collegian win 27th World Series For Chase Utley and the Phillies, it was a frustrating end to another scintillating sea son. Philadelphia fell two wins short of becoming the first NL team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds. Ryan Howard's sixth-inning homer came too late to wipe away his World Series slump, and Phillies pitchers rarely man aged to slow Matsui and the Yankees' machine.
