Some safety base rules say that on a play at first the runner must touch the colored base and the fielder must touch the white base - UNLESS the play gets "switched" to the foul side (like in your play or an uncaught third strike play) in which case they can switch bases.

If this is how they were playing then it's an out in your play.

Some say the batter-runner mus always use the colored base when there's a play at first and the fielder must always use the white base.

If this is the case then it's not an out, but the runner has missed first and can be out on appeal.
