If as a pitcher you let three batters per inning on base because of a dropped third strike and strike out properly the other three you get 6 pts per inning rather than 3 so you end up with 27 more points despite allowing 27 baserunners!
Personally, I think a pitcher surviving that would be more impressive than a perfect game. He did essentially twice the work and still didn't allow a run.
