I got me an out, too.

This example was not an overrun of the base, you've got F4 with the ball touching the base and R1 standing 6 inches off the base. Now, here's another example that covers the point you wanted to make, Don. On a force play, R1 overruns 2B without touching the base. F4 then gets ball and tags the base - does not tag R1 and R1 returns & stands on 2B. In this case, I got me a safe runner. F4 is gonna have to tag R1 BEFORE R1 returns to 2B from the overrun.
