You are right, Anton, that the runner only touched orange (i.e. dirt), overstepping the actual base.
But why do you have an out here unless an appeal or tag is made? In all cases, according to ASA, a runner is assumed to have "reached" a missed base when they pass it, thus you DON'T have an out when the ball comes in... at least not yet.
