The error on this play was when you signaled her safe. It should have been a no-call.
In Dixie under appeals rule 12, it states:
"On a play at the plate where the baserunner misses the plate and the catcher attempts to tag but also misses, the umpire shall make a call of 'Safe'. If the catcher then tags the baserunner or plate, the umpire would then rule the baserunner 'Out'. If the umpire did not make an initial 'Safe' call or made no call at all, he would be tipping off the catcher and the baserunner that the base was missed."
