From NCAA softball rules...
14.30.5 A pitcher is credited with a perfect game when she faces the minimum number of batters required for the number of innings played, none of whom reaches any base safely.
Note: The tiebreaker does not change this requirement.
Garcia faced the minimum number of batters (i.e. 24) required for the innings played (8) - the runner placed on 2B doesn't count as a batter. In fact, that run is supposed to be charged against the team, not her.
