double base

the question:
"question and opinion first baseman makes unassisted play at first and only touches orange bag not white is orange bag and white bag one?"

my answer:
"
I assume you mean an unassisted play on a batter-runner.
If so, the defense must use the white/fair part of the base and the BR the colored part.

The colored part is not part of the base for defense unless the play is from foul ground.
Saying unassisted by F3 means to me it was fair ball and no throw from foul ground.

They are only one combined base when the play is from foul ground or the BR has reached first.

USA SB rule 8.2.N.3 "
