Desperate to hang onto their World Series title and hounded by the Yankees to the very last swing, Philadelphia somehow held on for an 8-6 win Monday night in Game 5. Put those parade plans on hold, New York. The Phillies are coming back. “We had to do it,” Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. “We didn’t have a choice. It was either go home and watch football and college basketball or extend the season. The Yankees, who have won the Series all eight previous times they took a 3-1 lead, will try to close out title No. 27 on Wednesday night at home. “If we would have pitched today, we probably would have won,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “That’s the bottom line.” Stay posted on game 6 which will air tonight (Wednesday, November 4, 2009).
