10.13 a) An error shall be charged against any fielder when he muffs a foul fly, to prolong the time at bat of a batter whether the batter subsequently reaches first base or is put out.

ok

so is it still a perfect game if that batter never reaches base?

sure, the only requirement is that no batter reaches base. it would sure suck though if a player dropped a foul fly and the batter went on to be the only baserunner 🙂

seems so...

In the long history of baseball, there have been only 16 perfect games. Baseball officially defines a perfect game as one in which the pitcher allows no base runners in at least nine innings of a perfect game victory. This strict definition of perfect games means that some gems, such as Pedro Martinez?s perfecto in 1995 (for nine innings) don?t count because the game went into extra innings and he allowed a hit to the 28th batter, in the tenth inning
