Was the fielder holding the ball when the base was touched with the glove? Touching a base is not the same as tagging a runner. In touching a base the fielder merely needs to have posession of the ball, otherwise why would we call it an out for the foot, or hand etc. on the bag. The glove is legal equipment to the fielder just as shoes are. The fielder has posession of the ball and touched the base, it is an out.
