OSAKA -- It's probably about time someone came up with another nickname for Seibu Lions shortstop Kazuo Matsui.
Matsui, who is known as "Little" Matsui in comparison to Yomiuri Giants slugger Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui, came through with some clutch hitting, going 4-for-5 with three RBIs to lead the Japan All-Stars to an 8-6 win over the MLB All-Stars in Game 3 of the seven-game series.
The Japanese side has now won the first three games of the series after the major leaguers kicked off their tour with an 8-1 exhibition win over the Giants.
