Sounds like no tag to me, assuming HS and NCAA rules are the same in this area.
12.26 Tag and Force Plays
12.26.1 A runner is considered tagged out if the ball is in play and she is not
in contact with a base when she is legally touched by the ball securely held
in the hand(s) or glove/mitt of a fielder. It is sufficient for the runner to be
touched with the hand(s) or glove/mitt holding the ball.

12.26.8 The batter-runner or runner is not out:
12.26.8.3 When touched while off a base with a fielder’s hand or glove/
mitt when the ball is in the fielder’s other hand.
It is Philly...the city that snowballed Santa Claus. Nothing would surprise me!I would be shocked if that was a local rule.
Thanks - this helped me check. State site says adopt 2017 NFHS Softball Rules Book. This wasn't the first away game this was blatantly missed this season. Both were in Philly - must be a city house rule...
