I point out that the rules dictate that in order for a runner to be safe the runner must beat the throw, or in other words touch the base before fielder touches the base with possession of the ball or tags the runner.

One rule (7.08e) says that; the other (6.05j) says that to be out the ball must beat the runner.

By rule, the tie goes to the runner at first; the tie goes to the defense at other bases.
