If it's worded as posted it has a problem. Because it now reads, in it's most natural form, that a ball is fair if it touches only the white portion of first base.

What it means to read is that it is fair if it touches the white portion of first base and not if it only touched the orange portion.

I know exactly what they were going for here and you do to; but if they had to add it then somebody didn't quite get it and I don't think it'll help to reword it ambiguously.
